# Directions:
01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
02 - In a saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Add pearl couscous, reduce heat, 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 olive oil and red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss thoroughly.
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 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, couscous salad, sliced chicken, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.
07 - Serve the stuffed pitas immediately while warm.
