# Directions:

01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss thoroughly to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.

02 - While chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Transfer to a plate and let rest briefly.

04 - Warm the pita breads in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable, about 1 to 2 minutes.

05 - Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with grilled chicken strips, sliced cucumber, diced tomato, and red onion if using.

06 - Fold or roll each pita tightly to enclose the filling, keeping ingredients contained. Serve immediately while wraps are warm.

# Expert Advice:

Everything comes together in 30 minutes, so you can eat well even on a Tuesday night.
The homemade tzatziki tastes miles better than store-bought and takes almost no effort.
It's endlessly flexible, you can swap the protein or pile on extra veggies without breaking the recipe.

02 -

Squeeze the grated cucumber hard in a clean towel or cheesecloth, or your tzatziki will be watery and slide right out of the wrap.
Don't overcook the chicken or it turns rubbery, pull it off the heat as soon as it's just done and let it rest a minute before wrapping.
Warm the pita or it will crack when you try to fold it, I learned this the hard way with a pile of torn bread on my counter.
