Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 medium cucumber, grated and drained
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 4 large flatbreads or pita pockets
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium tomato, sliced

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining 1/2 grated and well-drained cucumber with 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 large flatbreads or pita pockets on the grill for 1 minute each side. Assemble wraps by spreading 2 tbsp tzatziki sauce on each flatbread, adding sliced chicken, 1/2 sliced red onion, and 1 sliced tomato. Roll tightly and serve immediately.
