# Directions:

01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
02 - While the chicken marinates, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until needed.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Warm the pita breads in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce 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 with lemon wedges.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than takeout and tastes twice as fresh.
  • The homemade tzatziki is ridiculously easy and beats store bought every single time.
  • You can prep the chicken and sauce ahead, then assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Squeeze that grated cucumber until your hands hurt or your tzatziki will be runny and sad.
  • Do not skip warming the pita, cold flatbread cracks the second you try to fold it.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes, but if you have an extra hour the flavor gets even better.
03 -
  • Let your grill pan get really hot before adding the chicken so you get those gorgeous char marks.
  • Taste your tzatziki before serving and adjust the lemon, salt, or garlic to your liking.
  • If you are feeding a crowd, set up a wrap bar and let everyone build their own.
