Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 12 leaves Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown exterior.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the lettuce wraps by carefully separating the lettuce leaves and washing them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing a few cooked chicken pieces in each lettuce leaf. Top with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the fillings or serve it on the side as a dip.
Serve immediately and enjoy these light and flavorful Chicken Souvlaki Lettuce Wraps!
