Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 pita breads
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest, then slice into strips.
- In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the tzatziki sauce.
- Warm the pita breads and spread each with tzatziki sauce.
- Add the sliced chicken, red onion, tomato, and parsley. Roll up and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade or tzatziki sauce.
- If you prefer, you can substitute chicken breasts for thighs for a leaner option.
- Let the tzatziki sauce sit for a while to allow the flavors to blend together before serving.
