Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • ½ cucumber, finely grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 4–6 small flour or corn tortillas (whole wheat optional)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  2. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.
  3. Thinly slice the red and green bell peppers along with the red onion. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Toss in the sliced peppers and onions. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but still vibrant and slightly crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. While veggies cook, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 30 seconds.
  7. Lay tortillas flat and layer with sautéed peppers and onions, cooked chicken slices, a generous spoonful of tzatziki, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while chicken is juicy and veggies are warm.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes for best flavor. Drain grated cucumber well to avoid watery tzatziki. Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Use fresh herbs for best flavor but dried can substitute. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and vegan feta. For low-carb, substitute tortillas with lettuce leaves.
