Ingredients

• 400 grams Chicken breast
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita breads
• 120 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 piece Garlic clove
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 80 grams Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken breast. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add them to the bowl. Coat the chicken well in the yogurt mixture, cover the bowl, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber and tomato into small cubes, and finely slice the red onion. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 5

In the meantime, warm the pita breads in a preheated oven (180°C/350°F) for about 5 minutes or in a microwave for a few seconds, until they are soft and pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the wraps, place a generous amount of cooked chicken onto each pita. Top with the diced cucumber, tomato, sliced onion, and crumble feta cheese over the top.

Step 7

Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley over the filling for extra flavor and aroma.

Step 8

Carefully wrap each pita around the filling, securing with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
