- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large whole wheat pita breads or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- Tzatziki sauce for topping
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken strips to the marinade, toss to coat completely, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked through and slightly browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Warm the pita breads according to package directions.
- Assemble the wraps by dividing the cooked chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red onion among the four pitas.
- Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce.
- Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
Notes

- Amara recommends grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying for an authentic smoky flavor.
- Leo likes to add a pinch of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for depth.
