Marinated Chicken in Arabic Pita Bread

This is not really a traditional Greek recipe. It's a delicious blend of  Greek and Middle East cooking slightly adapted from Argiro Barbarigou's recipe. It's very easy to make, it's healthy and, most importantly, it's so tasty! We can find colour bell peppers all year round at the supermarket but summer is the season when these sweet peppers are the best.
