Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces flatbreads or pita
• 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, coating completely, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
2. Step 2: While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki by mixing 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup grated cucumber squeezed dry, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 flatbreads or pita in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side until pliable. Slice grilled chicken into strips and distribute evenly onto each flatbread.
5. Step 5: Top the chicken with 1/2 cup diced cucumber, 1/2 cup diced tomato, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle generously with the prepared tzatziki sauce. Roll up and serve immediately.
