  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  2. Step 2: Fold in the tzatziki, lemon juice, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, toast the hoagie rolls lightly before adding the filling.
  • Swap Kalamata olives for green olives or capers if preferred.
  • Add sliced avocado for creaminess and extra nutrients.
  • If you like a bit of heat, stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Make your own tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt with cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the rolls separate to prevent them from becoming soggy. Reassemble sandwiches just before serving. The chicken mixture can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread?

Yes, pita pockets, wraps, or sandwich buns all work well with this filling. Choose a bread that can hold the mixture without falling apart.

Is rotisserie chicken necessary?

Rotisserie chicken is convenient and flavorful, but you can use leftover cooked chicken breast or thighs—just chop them coarsely to match the texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and oregano according to your taste preferences.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh as the lettuce can wilt if prepared too far in advance.
