Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and let it soak up those flavors for at least 15 minutes while you prep the tzatziki.
- Prepare the Tzatziki:
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil. Stir well and pop it in the fridge to let the flavors meld.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
- Warm the Flatbreads:
- A quick warm in a pan or microwave will make them pliable. This step is crucial for creating the ultimate wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Spread the tzatziki on each flatbread, layer on lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and sliced chicken. Top with feta for that final touch!
- Serve:
- Fold up the wraps, securing them with parchment if needed. Serve immediately and watch the smiles unfold!
