1/2 a cucumber
200g tomatoes
1/2 iceberg lettuce
1 red onion
6-8 tortilla wraps/ flatbreads / thin pittas - i prefer tortillas
homemade/pre-made tzatziki
3 tbsp Olive Oil
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 Garlic Cloves (minced/finely chopped)
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
6-8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

Steps:

  • Prepare the Chicken Marinade first. Get a large bowl. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the Chicken Thighs and give it a mix with your hands. Make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies. Add more oregano if necessary. Leave for 30ish minutes.
  • Prepare wrap ingredients. Slice tomatoes, slice cucumber into half moon shapes, THINLY slice onions and slice the lettuce.
  • Add the marinated chicken to a medium-heat skillet or frying pan for 5-7 minutes. Cook in 2 batches to avoid over crowding the pan (this should allow it to brown nicely). Once nicely browned and cooked through leave to rest on a chopping board for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Build the wraps. Toast the flatbread or tortilla on a frying pan. I place a tortilla directly onto the gas as this gives a nice charred flavour. You may prefer to heat in frying pan.
  • Build the wraps - tortilla/flatbreat, then lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomatoes.and tzatziki. Be careful not to over fill, just a little of each is best. Slice the rested chicken and add to the wrap. And enjoy!
  • To wrap the tortilla properly, first fold up from the bottom, the fold the two adjacent sides over.
