Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pita bread or flatbreads
  • Fresh vegetables: cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce
  • For the tzatziki sauce:
    • 1 cup Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss chicken strips in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber, squeeze out excess moisture, then combine with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Warm the pita bread or flatbreads. Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki on each. Add cooked chicken strips, fresh vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Fold the pita to form a wrap or serve open-faced. Enjoy immediately or serve with side salads for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use marinated chicken for enhanced flavor and tenderness.
  • Fresh ingredients like vegetables and herbs elevate the dish’s taste.
