For the Chicken

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
For the Cucumber Sauce
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or mint
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
To Assemble
  • 4 pieces pita breads or flatbreads
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup chopped cucumber
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Toss the chicken strips in this marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Once done, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.
Make the Cucumber Sauce
  1. In another bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, finely grated cucumber (ensure it's squeezed dry), lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped dill or mint.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and chill until you’re ready to serve.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm the pita breads or flatbreads slightly.
  2. Spread a generous layer of cucumber sauce on each wrap.
  3. Top with the grilled chicken, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, sliced red onion, feta cheese, and any additional herbs you wish.
Serve
  1. Wrap the pita snugly and enjoy immediately, perhaps with some extra cucumber sauce on the side for dipping!

Notes

These wraps can be served with a light side salad or Mediterranean-themed platter with dips like hummus. Store leftovers separately to prevent sogginess.
