# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 14 oz), sliced into strips
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Tzatziki

08 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
09 - 1/3 cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
11 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
12 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
14 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Vegetables and Wrap

15 - 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
16 - 1 cup tomato, diced or sliced
17 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
18 - 4 soft pita breads

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
02 - While chicken marinates, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until needed.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Place pita breads in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave until soft and pliable, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on the inner surface of each pita bread. Layer with grilled chicken strips, sliced cucumber, diced tomato, and sliced red onion.
06 - Fold or roll each pita to enclose the filling completely and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in thirty minutes, so it's perfect when you want something special without spending the whole evening in the kitchen.
  • The tzatziki is cool and tangy, which balances the warm spiced chicken in a way that feels refreshing even on a hot day.
  • You can prep the components ahead and let everyone build their own wraps, which makes it great for casual dinners with friends.
  • It tastes like vacation but costs less than takeout, and somehow that makes it even better.
02 -
  • Don't skip squeezing the grated cucumber for the tzatziki or you'll end up with a thin, watery sauce that makes the pita soggy within minutes.
  • Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least ten minutes, but if you have time, thirty minutes or even an hour makes the flavor so much deeper.
  • Warm the pitas just before assembling because once they cool down they lose their flexibility and crack when you try to roll them.
03 -
  • Press the chicken strips flat with your palm before marinating so they cook evenly and quickly, which also gives you more surface area for that delicious char.
  • If your pitas keep cracking, wrap them in a damp towel and microwave for twenty seconds to steam them back to life.
  • Taste the tzatziki before serving and adjust the garlic, lemon, or salt because everyone's preferences are different and it's easy to tweak.
