Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat flatbreads
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 piece cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, 1 clove of minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While chicken is resting, brush flatbreads with the remaining olive oil and grill for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly charred.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt with 1 minced clove of garlic, and stir well. Set aside as a sauce.
Thinly slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
To assemble the flatbreads, spread a layer of yogurt sauce on each grilled flatbread. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and sliced kalamata olives.
Serve immediately while flatbreads are warm.
