Ingredients

  • For the Chicken:
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp curry powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • For the Peppers:
  • 2–3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • For the Tzatziki:
  • 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated cucumber (squeezed dry)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • For Assembly:
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup kalamata olives
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4–6 pita breads or flatbreads

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, curry powder, and pepper. Add chicken strips and mix well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, mix all tzatziki ingredients in a bowl. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange sliced bell peppers on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Spread marinated chicken on a separate sheet pan in an even layer.
  5. Roast both pans in the oven for 10–15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and peppers are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Warm the pita breads in the oven or on a skillet if desired.
  7. Set out roasted chicken, peppers, tzatziki, diced veggies, olives, and feta for assembly. Let everyone build their own pita wraps.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more juiciness.
  • Swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based version to make it dairy-free.
  • Add extra roasted vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or tomatoes for variety.
  • Serve over greens or grains instead of pita for a bowl-style meal.
  • Store-bought tzatziki can save time when needed.
