Grilled Chicken Pita Wraps
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken 🍋🧄
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl, tossing until every piece is thoroughly coated.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion!).
Step 2: Mix the Tzatziki Sauce 🥒🥣
- While the chicken marinades, prepare your creamy white sauce. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until perfectly smooth and creamy, then place it in the fridge to let the flavors meld.
Step 3: Grill to Perfection 🔥🍗
- Preheat your outdoor grill or an indoor cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with a touch of oil.
- Place the marinated chicken tenderloins on the hot grill. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the chicken develops beautiful dark char marks (just like in the photo!) and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes before assembling.
Step 4: Warm the Pitas 🫓✨
- Place your pita flatbreads directly onto the grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side just until they are warm, pliable, and show light golden-brown grill marks.
