Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 30 ml lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita breads

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or in the oven.
  4. Lay a warm pita bread on a flat surface and add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and sliced red onion.
  5. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top.
  6. Fold the sides of the pita over the filling and roll it up from the bottom.
  7. Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes
