Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 2 Tomatoes, diced
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Cook the chicken skewers on the grill or grill pan for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the wraps by layering a lettuce leaf, a few pieces of grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, cucumber, sliced red onion, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread.
Fold the pita bread around the filling to form a wrap, securing it with parchment paper or aluminum foil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chicken Souvlaki Wraps!
