Equipment

  •  Grill Pan
  • Bowl

Method
 

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
  1. Mix together the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, Greek yogurt, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best flavor, let it marinade overnight.
Step 2: Prepare the Tzatziki
  1. While the chicken marinates, make the tzatziki. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, Greek yogurt, grated cucumbers (squeezed dry), black pepper, dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Prepare the Filling
  1. While the chicken rests, prepare your fresh veggies. Dice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. Each piece should be bite-sized for easy wrapping.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
  1. Warm the pita breads or flatbreads as per package instructions. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki on each wrap. Layer in some sliced grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Wrap it up, tuck in the ends, and get ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Olive Oil: A good olive oil elevates your dish. Opt for cold-pressed extra-virgin for the best flavor.
  • Marinate for Longer: The longer you marinate the chicken, the better the flavor. Overnight is best!
  • Don’t Skip the Tzatziki: Making your own tzatziki is simple and incredibly flavorful compared to store-bought. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.
  • Veggie Variety: Feel free to experiment with different veggies based on your preference. Roasted red peppers or arugula can be great additions.
  • Wrap it Up Correctly: To prevent spills, start by placing the filling slightly below the middle of the wrap and fold the sides in before rolling up.
