Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or mint)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Assembling the Pita Wraps:

  • 4 pita breads (whole wheat or regular)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken – Mix all marinade ingredients, coat chicken, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
  2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce – Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and let it chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken – Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest, then slice into strips.
  4. Warm the Pita – Heat each pita in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side to soften.
  5. Assemble the Pita – Spread tzatziki sauce inside the pita, add sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and optional toppings. Wrap and serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, store the chicken, tzatziki, and vegetables separately and assemble fresh before eating.

For a low-carb option, serve the chicken and toppings over a salad or in a lettuce wrap instead of pita.
