Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup grated cucumber (seeds removed)
• 1 tbsp minced fresh dill
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 warm pita breads
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion
• 1 cup sliced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: While chicken marinates, make the tzatziki by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup grated cucumber (seeds removed), 1 tbsp minced fresh dill, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp white wine vinegar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Chill until ready.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 pita breads on the grill for 1-2 minutes until pliable and lightly charred.
5. Step 5: Slice grilled chicken into strips. Assemble each wrap by placing 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, 2 tbsp sliced red onion, and chicken strips on each pita. Drizzle with 2 tbsp tzatziki and fold tightly to serve.
