Servings 4
Author Eleni Georges

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken thigh fillets, skinless and boneless
  • 1 tbs of extra virgin olive oil

Seasoning mix

  • 2 ½ tsp dry thyme
  • 1 ½ tsp dry oregano
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt

Accompaniments

  • Greek pitta bread
  • Tzatziki
  • Tomato, sliced
  • Red onion, sliced
  • Potato chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven grill (broiler) with fan setting at 240°C. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil all and sprinkle the seasoning mix all over the thigh fillets. Massage the spices onto the chicken and allow the marinated chicken to rest in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.

  2. Lay baking paper on a large oven tray and then place the marinated chicken spread out on the tray. Bake the chicken for 17min on the side that the skin was first and up to 10min on the other side until it browns.
  3. After that time remove the chicken on a chopping board and with a sharp knife slice the chicken in strips along the width. Place the chicken back on the baking tray and stir the strips through the juices released for some extra flavour and juiciness. Serve in a pita wrap with the accompaniments listed or add it on a fresh salad of your choice.
