Ingredients

For the Chicken Souvlaki:

• 500g chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

• 1 cup (250g) Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp mint, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wrap

• 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
• 1/2 cup (50g) shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato, sliced

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with dried oregano, paprika, salt, and olive oil, tossing until evenly coated.
2. Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes
3. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with shredded lettuce, tomato, cucumber and grilled chicken. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley or mint.
