Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast

- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 0.5 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion

Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare the toppings: While the chicken is cooking, peel and slice the cucumber thinly; halve the cherry tomatoes; thinly slice the red onion.
Assemble the wraps: Warm the pita bread according to package instructions. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt on each pita. Distribute equal amounts of sliced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and spinach leaves over the yogurt.
Wrap and serve: Fold each pita to enclose the ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low-fat chicken pita wraps!
