Method

  1. 01
    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. 02
    Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. 03
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until well browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. 04
    In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. 05
    Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, tossing everything together to combine and heat through.
  6. 06
    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
  7. 07
    Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with chopped parsley, crumbled feta cheese, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  8. 08
    Serve immediately with any remaining toppings on the side for extra flavor.
