Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for marinade)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for marinade)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (for marinade)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for sauce)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for sauce)
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced or diced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Lettuce or spinach leaves
  • Feta cheese and olives (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until blended.
  • Marinate the chicken: Add chicken breasts to marinade, coat fully. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F/75°C). Let rest 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped dill, and salt/pepper to taste.
  • Assemble wraps: Warm pita breads. Layer cooked chicken, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce/spinach, and optional feta/olives. Spread yogurt sauce on two pita halves, then top with remaining pita to form wraps.

Notes

Marinating up to 2 hours enhances flavor.
Optional additions: feta cheese or olives for extra tang.
Serve with extra yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
