- 1

Marinate chicken
Trim excess fat from 1 lb chicken thighs and pat dry. Add chicken to the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–4 hours. If short on time, 30 minutes will still impart flavor.

Cook chicken
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook chicken 4–6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and exterior is golden and slightly charred. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch strips.
Tzatziki Sauce
- 4
Prepare cucumber
Grate 1/2 cup cucumber (about half a small cucumber) on a box grater, then place in a fine mesh sieve or clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid a watery sauce.

Lay each warm pita flat. Spread about 1–2 tablespoons tzatziki down the center of each pita. Divide the sliced chicken evenly among the pitas (about 4 oz chicken per wrap). Top with shredded romaine (about 1/2 cup per wrap), 2–3 slices of tomato, some thinly sliced red onion, and sprinkle about 1 tablespoon crumbled feta per wrap.
