- Step 1 In a large bowl, combine olive oil, vegetable oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well. Place chicken in a large container or resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over chicken, and coat evenly. Seal and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Step 2 In a large bowl, place crumbled feta. In a food processor, blend roasted red pepper, green bell pepper, and onion until smooth. Add cayenne pepper, process until combined. Mix this blend with the feta, mayonnaise, and olive oil thoroughly. Refrigerate until needed.
- Step 3 For grilled chicken, preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from marinade, let excess drip off, and grill for 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. For baking, preheat oven to 375°F, place chicken on a lightly oiled baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cool and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Step 4 In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of Fetafire sauce over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chicken cubes, tossing until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve on warmed pita with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Repeat with remaining sauce, chicken, pita, lettuce, and tomatoes.
