# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
02 - In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Transfer to a clean plate.
04 - Warm pita breads in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki on each pita bread. Top with grilled chicken strips, sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
06 - Fold or roll each pita to enclose the filling and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in under 30 minutes, so you can have a restaurant quality meal on a weeknight without the stress.
  • The tzatziki is so good you will start putting it on everything from roasted vegetables to scrambled eggs.
  • It is endlessly customizable, you can swap proteins, add feta, or pile on extra veggies without changing the core magic.
  • Leftovers actually taste better the next day when the flavors have had time to meld together.
02 -
  • Always squeeze the grated cucumber dry before adding it to the tzatziki, or you will end up with a watery mess that slides right off the wrap.
  • Do not skip warming the pitas, cold pita cracks and tears the moment you try to fold it, and suddenly your wrap is a salad.
  • If your chicken breasts are thick, pound them out a bit before slicing so the strips cook evenly and do not dry out on the edges.
03 -
  • Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute, otherwise they will all run out when you slice it.
  • Make a double batch of tzatziki and keep it in the fridge, it is incredible on grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or even as a dip for chips.
  • If your pitas keep tearing, try brushing them lightly with water before warming them, the moisture helps them become more flexible.
