Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • ½ medium cucumber, finely grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flatbreads or pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce or mixed greens
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • Optional: sliced Kalamata olives or pepperoncini

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: Grate the cucumber finely, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Toss sliced chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while heating the pan.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices in a single layer and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes until browned. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and juicy. Remove from heat and let rest.
  4. Prepare the Veggies: Thinly slice red onion and tomato. Shred or chop lettuce if needed.
  5. Warm the Flatbreads: Heat flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay flatbread on a plate, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki down the center, add shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and warm chicken slices. Add optional olives or pepperoncini.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold the flatbread over the filling, tuck in sides, and roll tightly. Serve immediately with extra tzatziki for dipping.

Notes

Squeeze out cucumber moisture thoroughly to avoid watery tzatziki and soggy wraps. Let tzatziki chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to meld flavors. Use chicken thighs for juicier meat. Warm flatbreads gently to keep pliable. Add a drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice if chicken seems dry before wrapping.
