# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss thoroughly to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
02 - In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Warm pita breads in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Layer with grilled chicken strips, sliced cucumber, diced tomato, and red onion slices.
06 - Fold or roll each pita to enclose the filling securely and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The chicken stays juicy because the lemon and oil create a protective coating that locks in moisture during grilling.
  • Homemade tzatziki tastes ten times better than store bought and takes less than five minutes to whisk together.
  • Everything comes together in half an hour, making it perfect for nights when youre too hungry to wait but still want something that feels special.
  • Leftoover chicken and tzatziki turn into next days lunch without any extra work.
02 -
  • If you skip squeezing the cucumber for the tzatziki, the sauce will be watery and make your pita soggy within minutes.
  • Marinating the chicken for at least ten minutes is non negotiable, but if you have an hour or even overnight, the flavor gets even better.
  • Dont overheat the pita or it turns into a cracker, and a cracked wrap is a frustrating mess to eat.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165 degrees inside so its perfectly cooked without any guesswork.
  • If your pitas are a little stale, brush them lightly with olive oil before warming to bring them back to life.
  • Double the tzatziki recipe because it disappears fast and tastes amazing on everything from roasted vegetables to grilled fish.
