Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat pita breads

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ cup cucumber, diced finely

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Fresh parsley or dill, for a garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or, for enhanced flavor, refrigerate for a few hours.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken breasts. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, finely diced cucumber, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

        Assemble the Wraps: Cut each whole wheat pita bread in half to form pockets. In each pocket, layer the sliced grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Top each wrap with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

          Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of flavor, drizzle a little more olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the wraps. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving immediately.
