- 2 chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to create 4 thinner breast steaks
- 1 lemon juiced for the marinade, 1/2 lemon juiced for the Tzatziki
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 3 garlic cloves crushed

Method
Step 1
In a medium bowl mix all marinade ingredients (1 lemon juiced, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 3 garlic cloves crushed, 1 tbsp dried oregano) plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Once mixed, coat the chicken thoroughly and pop to one side for 30 mins.Step 2
Meanwhile, it's time to prep your tzatziki. Scrape out the seeds of your cucumber using a teaspoon and then grate the rest. Squeeze as much liquid out of your cucumber as possible.Step 3
Add the grated cucumber to a small bowl along with the natural yogurt and mint sauce, season with salt and pepper and mix.Step 4
Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and add your marinated chicken (two at a time), ensuring to add a couple of tablespoons of remaining herby marinade and griddle on each side for 4 mins until cooked through. Remove from the pan and slice.Step 5
Time to get stuffing! Load your pittas/flatbreads with your thinly sliced optional extras, dollop with tzatziki, load with chicken and wrap for a taste of Greece in the comfort of your own home!
