There’s nothing like outdoor cooking to bring people together—and this crowd-favorite chicken pita recipe proves it. We recently fired it up lakeside using our Portable Fire Pit Stack and BBQ grill stacker, and let’s just say, it was a flavor-packed hit. Juicy marinated chicken, crisp veggies, grilled onions, and a dollop of homemade tzatziki tucked inside warm pita? Yes, please. Whether you're cooking with a charcoal grill stacker or stacking it up over an open flame with your Flame Pit Stack, this one’s a guaranteed winner for spring and summer cookouts.

🔥 Ingredients for Your Next Grill Stack Adventure

For the Chicken:

• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup Greek salad dressing
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt & pepper to taste

For the Pita Toppings:

• 6 pita breads
• 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 red onion, sliced and grilled
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• Tzatziki sauce (recipe below)

🔧 How to Stack, Sear, and Serve Using Your Grill Pit Stacks

Marinate the Chicken:
Toss chicken thighs in a mix of Greek salad dressing, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let them soak up that flavor for at least 30 minutes—longer if you’ve got the time (up to 4 hours is gold).

Fire Up the Grill Stacker:
Get your charcoal grill stacker or Outdoor Fire Pit Stack hot and ready. A steady heat is key for even cooking.

Grill the Chicken:
Place marinated chicken thighs directly on your BBQ grill stacker over the coals. Grill for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely charred.

Grill the Onions:
Toss red onion slices on the hot grill pit stack and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until soft and caramelized.

Toast the Pita:
Warm your pita bread directly over the grill pit stack for 30–60 seconds per side until they’re toasty and flexible.

Assemble the Pita Pockets:
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Load up each pita with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, crumbled feta, and a hearty spoonful of homemade tzatziki.
