TrendingLunchWrapsMediterraneanMeal prepGrillHigh protein
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1.5 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 English cucumber
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill
- 4 large pita breads
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
- 1Slice chicken into thin cutlets or 1-inch strips. In a bowl whisk olive oil, lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken to coat and marinate 15 minutes at room temperature (or up to 4 hours refrigerated).
- 2For tzatziki, grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze firmly in a clean towel to remove excess liquid. Stir cucumber into Greek yogurt with remaining minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, remaining salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Chill until serving.
- 3Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining oil. Cook chicken in a single layer 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest 3 minutes, then slice.
- 4Warm pitas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side or wrap in foil and heat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes until pliable.
- 5Spread a generous swoosh of tzatziki down the center of each pita. Top with shredded romaine, halved cherry tomatoes, thin red-onion slices, warm chicken, and crumbled feta.
- 6Drizzle any remaining tzatziki over the fillings. Fold the bottom up and roll tightly like a burrito, tucking sides as you go.
- 7Slice wraps in half on a bias if desired. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment and foil for portable lunches that stay fresh up to 4 hours.
