For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a touch of heat. Feel free to customize the fillings! Cucumber, bell peppers, or a sprinkle of feta cheese would be delicious additions. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, a minimum of 3 hours will still provide good flavor. Grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying is also a great option, especially during warmer months.
