# How-To Steps:
01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 - In a saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Add pearl couscous, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.
03 - Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and parsley to the cooled couscous. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then toss gently to combine.
04 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill 5 to 6 minutes per side until cooked through. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
05 - Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
06 - Gently open each pita half. Layer with lettuce if desired, followed by couscous salad, sliced chicken, crumbled feta, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
07 - Serve the stuffed pitas immediately while warm.
