Method
Marinated Chicken
- 1
Prepare chicken
Trim any fat from the chicken breasts and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
Make marinade
In a bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbs olive oil, 2 tbs lemon juice, minced 3 garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp kosher salt. Whisk until smooth.

Marinate chicken
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3–4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Cook chicken
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak 30 minutes first). Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Oil grates lightly. Grill skewers 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until exterior is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If not using skewers, cook chicken in a hot skillet with a little oil, 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes, then remove chicken from skewers if used.
Vegetables & Assembly

Prepare vegetables
While chicken marinates, dice cucumber (to equal about 1 cup), halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion to make 1/2 cup, and core and cut green bell pepper into 1/2-inch strips. Chop parsley and shred romaine lettuce.

Warm tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas for 10–20 seconds per side in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap stack in foil and warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–8 minutes. Keep warm wrapped in a clean towel.

Assemble wraps
Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1–2 tbs of the tzatziki-style sauce in the center. Layer 1/4 of the shredded romaine, 1/4 cup cucumber, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, 2–3 tbsp red onion, a portion of grilled peppers (if used) and 1/4 of the cooked chicken. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle another 1 tbs sauce on top if desired.

Roll and serve
Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap. If desired, grill the wrapped sandwich seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side to seal and add crispness. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until smooth. Chill at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
