Ingredients

• Chicken

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Wrap Components
  • 4 large flatbreads or whole wheat wraps
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz (about 115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for 15 minutes (or longer if desired).

2.

While chicken marinates, make the tzatziki: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate.

3.

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest for 3 minutes, then slice thinly.

4.

Warm the flatbreads lightly in a pan or microwave.

5.

To assemble each wrap, spread tzatziki over the bread, add lettuce/spinach, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, grilled chicken, and top with crumbled feta.

6.

Fold up the wraps, securing with parchment or foil if needed. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Add a pinch of cayenne to the chicken marinade for extra flavor and a slight kick that complements the cool tzatziki perfectly.
