Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 pita bread
4 tablespoons yogurt (for garnish)
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced tomato (dice finely)
1/2 cup diced red onion (diced finely)
6 tablespoons black olives (chopped and pitted)
4 tablespoons fresh parsley (coarsely chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh dill weed (coarsely chopped)
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • To prepare chicken marinade, whisk all marinade ingredients except chicken breasts together in a bowl. Combine marinade with chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag, seal and gently shake to evenly distribute marinade over chicken. Place in refrigerator and chill for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber relish. Lay cucumber slices in a sieve placed over a bowl and sprinkle with pinch of salt. Leave for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until cucumbers soften and their liquid begins to drain into the bowl. Stir occasionally.
  • Combine the tomato, onion, olives, parsley, dill, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in drained cucumbers, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Grease grill and preheat to medium-high. Remove chicken from zip-lock bag and discard marinade. Grill chicken breasts until cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove chicken from grill, let rest for a few minutes and slice thinly on the diagonal. Lay chicken slices on top of each pita round and divide relish evenly among them. Garnish with a little extra yogurt and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon turmeric
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Olive oil
1 red onion, sliced thickly
1 tomato, halved
1 lemon, halved
2 cups Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 lemons, juiced
1 1/2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
Garlic herb oil, for serving
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Blend the turmeric and some salt with the yogurt in a large bowl and add the chicken. Toss to coat and marinate chicken for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours (in the fridge).
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.
  • For the vegetables: Drizzle olive oil on the onion, tomato and lemon and season with salt. Grill all until a bit charred on each side.
  • For the tzatziki: Incorporate the yogurt, dill, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Season with salt and set aside.
  • To serve, drizzle the chicken with garlic herb oil and spoon a scoop or two of tzatziki directly on top. Plate each dish with a few pieces of grilled veggies and, before serving, squeeze 1 grilled lemon half over the chicken and sprinkle with oregano.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, juicy chicken breasts. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the tzatziki sauce, use thick, Greek yogurt. This will give the sauce a creamy, tangy flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, mint, or garlic, to taste.
  • To assemble the wrap, start with a large tortilla. Spread some tzatziki sauce on the tortilla, then add the grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then fold the tortilla in half or roll it up.
  • Serve the wraps immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken tzatziki wraps are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a wrap that is both satisfying and refreshing.
