Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large soft pita breads or flatbreads
  • Thinly sliced red onions (optional)
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the marinade. Toss to coat every piece well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  3. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water using a fine sieve or clean towel.
  4. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken slices in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred. Cook in batches if needed.
  6. Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
  7. Lay warm pita flat and spread 2-3 tablespoons of tzatziki down the center. Layer cooked chicken slices, then top with sliced red onions, chopped tomatoes, and fresh lettuce or spinach.
  8. Fold the pita over the filling snugly. Secure with parchment or toothpicks if needed. Serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.

Notes

Squeeze cucumber well to avoid watery tzatziki. Marinate chicken for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best flavor. Cook chicken in batches to avoid steaming. Warm pita before assembling for pliability. Double the tzatziki sauce as it disappears fast. Lemon juice or olive oil drizzle can revive dry chicken before serving.
