Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Wrap
- 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup chopped lettuce romaine or mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Grill the Chicken
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Prepare the Wrap Components
- Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 1 minute per side.
- Lay out the pita and spread a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce in the center.
Assemble the Wraps
- Layer lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion on the pita.
- Add sliced chicken and sprinkle feta cheese over the top.
Wrap and Serve
- Fold the sides of the pita and roll it into a wrap. Secure with foil or a toothpick if needed. Serve immediately, with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping.
