Ingredients You’ll Need

This dish uses mostly pantry staples and fresh produce. It is budget-friendly and easy to shop for.

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 2 pieces flatbread or naan
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Add cubed chicken to the marinade and toss to coat.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Warm the flatbreads in a low oven or on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until soft and pliable.
5. Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce over the surface of each flatbread.
6. Distribute the cooked chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives evenly across the flatbreads.
7. Top with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these flatbreads while the chicken is still warm. The contrast between hot meat and cold veggies is incredible. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon right before eating. Pair it with a crisp glass of white wine. It makes the perfect light summer dinner on the patio.

Keep It Fresh

Store the chicken and veggies in separate containers. This prevents the flatbread from getting soggy later. Leftover chicken stays juicy for up to three days. Reheat the chicken briefly before assembling a fresh wrap. This is a meal prep dream for healthy office lunches.

Tips for Best Results

• Don’t overcook the chicken or it will get dry.
• Use high-quality olive oil for the best marinade flavor.
• Warm your flatbreads so they don’t crack when folded.
• Pat your cucumbers dry to keep the sauce creamy.
• Double the marinade to use on roasted potatoes later.
• Slice the red onions very thin for a mild bite.
• Use fresh parsley rather than dried for a pop.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap chicken for chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
• Use gluten-free flatbreads to keep it allergy-friendly.
• Add a scoop of hummus for extra creaminess.
• Spice it up with a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Common Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

Yes, thighs will be even juicier and more flavorful. Just ensure they reach 165 degrees internally.

What is the best flatbread to use?

Naan is my favorite because it is thick and pillowy. Any soft pita or flatbread will work perfectly.

You deserve a meal that makes you feel amazing. Go make this now!
