Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat pitas

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup baby spinach

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

      Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. This will serve as a refreshing spread for the wrap.

        Assemble the Wraps: Slice the pitas in half to create pockets. Inside each pocket, layer the baby spinach, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with prepared tzatziki sauce.

          Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for added flavor and a pop of color. Serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping.

            Enjoy your fresh and healthy Greek Chicken Pita Wraps that are bursting with flavors and goodness!
