Ingredients
Scale
For the Greek Chicken Marinade
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Wraps
- 4 large pita breads
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
For the Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a bowl or zip-top bag and coat evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Tzatziki: Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Prep the Vegetables: Wash and chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Slice: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- Warm the Pitas: Heat the pita breads on the grill or in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Fill each pita with lettuce, sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and feta cheese.
- Add the Sauce: Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the pitas tightly and serve immediately while fresh.
Notes
- Marinate for maximum flavor: For the juiciest chicken, marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
- Prep ahead: Make the tzatziki and chop the vegetables up to 1 day in advance for quick assembly.
- Serving tip: Warm the pita bread before filling to make wrapping easier and prevent tearing.
