Instructions
Wraps:
- Prepare marinade and marinate chicken at least 2 hours ahead, up to overnight.
- To cook chicken: Heat a large pan or grill (I prefer a grill pan or cast iron; a sautee pan will do!) to medium-high with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Slice chicken into long strips (alternately, you can skewer into kabobs for quicker cooking). Once hot, place chicken in an even layer on pan and cook until golden, about 5-6 minutes. Flipping and continue to cook until done (around another 5-6 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare tzaziki sauce.
- To assemble: layer pita first with lettuce, cucumber, tomato and onion, chicken, olives and feta cheese. Top with tzaziki and enjoy!
Tzaziki:
- Grate cucumber and place on top of a paper towel for a minute or two. Squeeze any excess liquid. Combine with remaining ingredients and let sit at least 10 minutes. Season to taste.
