Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat pita bread

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring well to combine. This will be your creamy yogurt sauce.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a whole wheat pita and open it gently. Spread a layer of the yogurt sauce on the inside, followed by some grilled chicken strips. Top with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Fold the pita in half or wrap it up tightly. Repeat the process for the remaining pitas.

            Enjoy: Serve these healthy Greek chicken pita wraps warm or at room temperature for a delightful and wholesome meal.
