  • Total Time: 30
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

Chicken Breasts – 1.5 lbs, sliced into strips
Olive Oil – 3 tablespoons
Lemon Juice – 2 tablespoons
Oregano (dried) – 1 teaspoon
Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
Greek Yogurt (plain, non-fat) – 1 cup
Cucumber (grated, no peels) – 1 small
Dill – 1 tablespoon, chopped
Salt – to taste
Black Pepper – to taste
Butter Lettuce or Romaine – 4 large leaves

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the marinade, searing until golden brown and fully cooked (12-15 minutes), flipping halfway.
Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate tzatziki while chicken cooks.
Layer cooked chicken, tzatziki, and any desired toppings (e.g., sliced tomatoes, red onion) onto prepared lettuce leaves.
Fold lettuce leaves into wraps and serve immediately.

Notes

Chicken thighs work for a richer flavor
Use romaine or butter lettuce leaves as substitutes for wraps
Add fresh herbs like mint or parsley to tzatziki for extra brightness
Tzatziki can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance
