Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 1/2 lbs (700g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wraps

  • 4–6 pita breads
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Pita Wraps: Warm the pita breads slightly so they’re pliable. Spread a generous layer of the garlic yogurt sauce over each pita. Top with the cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Serve: Fold the pita breads over the filling, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier texture; chicken breasts will be leaner.
  • Warm the pita bread wrapped in foil in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds.
  • Feel free to add other fresh vegetables such as lettuce or bell peppers for added crunch.
  • The garlic yogurt sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
