Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 pita breads
2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup tzatziki sauce
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Let them sit for 20 to 30 minutes if time allows.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
4. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
5. Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
6. Fill each pita with romaine lettuce, cucumber, red onion, sliced chicken, and tzatziki sauce.
7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, wrap, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not slice the chicken right after cooking, or the juices will run out and the meat can turn dry.
