# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and ensure it is well-coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
02 -
Grate the cucumber into a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess liquid. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and the cucumber. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
03 -
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 75°C/165°F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then slice into thin strips.
04 -
Place the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until soft and warm.
05 -
Lay a piece of warm pita bread flat on a plate. Add sliced grilled chicken, fresh toppings of choice, and drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce.
06 -
Fold the pita around the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately with additional tzatziki for dipping if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours to enhance flavor.
02 -
Prepare tzatziki a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
03 -
Serve warm for the best taste experience.
