Ingredients
Scale
Primary Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Main Ingredients:
- 4 flatbreads
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Completely coat 4 chicken breasts in this marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet to medium heat (375°F). Add a small drizzle of olive oil and place marinated chicken breasts into the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and exterior turns golden brown.
- Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 3-4 minutes. Slice each chicken breast into thin, diagonal strips approximately ½ inch thick.
- Warm 4 flatbreads in the same skillet over medium heat for 45-60 seconds per side until slightly crisp and heated through.
- Spread ¼ cup tzatziki sauce evenly across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute sliced chicken across the sauced flatbreads. Top with ¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes, thin cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Fold flatbreads in half or roll them up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- For the most tender chicken, let the meat marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator to help the flavors deeply penetrate.
- Grill the flatbreads for a smoky flavor and slightly crisp texture instead of using a skillet for added depth.
- Use Greek yogurt with a thicker consistency when making tzatziki to prevent the flatbread from becoming soggy.
- Swap chicken for grilled tofu or chickpeas to create a delicious vegetarian version of this Mediterranean-style dish.
