# Instructions:
01 -
Combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
02 -
Grate cucumber into a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze cucumber to remove excess liquid, then mix it with Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Combine well and refrigerate.
03 -
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
04 -
Place pita bread on the grill for 1 minute per side until soft and pliable.
05 -
On each warm pita, layer sliced chicken, tzatziki sauce, and optional toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, or onions.
06 -
Fold the pita around the filling to form a wrap. Serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Marinating the chicken enhances flavor and tenderness, especially if left overnight.

Grilling the pita improves its flavor and texture.
