Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and drained
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 4 flatbreads or large pita breads
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade. Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, coating evenly, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Step 2: While chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and refrigerate.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the marinated chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and charred at edges. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 flatbreads or large pita breads on the grill for 1 minute per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
5. Step 5: Assemble wraps by spreading 2 tbsp of the tzatziki sauce over each flatbread, layering with 1/4 cup shredded romaine lettuce, 3-4 slices of tomato, some thinly sliced red onion, and grilled chicken strips. Fold and serve immediately.
