Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole grain pita breads

1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped

Crumbled feta cheese, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more robust flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once ready, take the chicken out of the marinade and cook it for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). After cooking, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.

      Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until smooth. This zesty sauce will add a refreshing touch to your wraps.

        Assemble the Wraps: To make the pita breads more pliable, warm them slightly in a dry skillet for about 10 seconds or in the microwave. Begin assembling by placing a layer of chopped baby spinach at the bottom of each pita. Layer on the sliced chicken, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives.

          Add the Sauce and Cheese: Generously drizzle the lemon-infused Greek yogurt sauce over your fillings. For an authentic touch, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, if desired.

            Wrap It Up: Fold each pita in half carefully to encase all those delightful fillings inside. Serve immediately for the best experience!

              Serve and Enjoy: These wraps pair beautifully with a side of creamy hummus or a light green salad, making for a complete and satisfying meal.
