🛒 Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled and thinly sliced
- 4 pita wraps
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ cucumber, shredded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
🔄 Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Chicken: Use boneless thighs or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for ease.
- Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt makes the sauce creamy and rich.
- Pita: Swap with naan, lavash, or whole wheat tortillas.
- Add-ons: Try red onion, tomatoes, feta, or olives for extra flavor and color.
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Grill the chicken until cooked through (internal temp: 165°F), about 4–5 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, shredded cucumber, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Warm the pita wraps slightly in a dry pan or microwave to make them pliable.
- Assemble each wrap by layering sliced chicken and a generous spoonful of yogurt sauce in the center of each pita.
- Fold and serve warm, optionally with extra lemon wedges.
💡 Tips for Success
- Squeeze cucumber before adding to the sauce to avoid watery yogurt.
- For added zing, stir in a pinch of garlic or dill to the sauce.
- Grill the pita briefly for extra flavor and texture.
- Make a batch of sauce ahead of time—it’s even better the next day!
