Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber and tomato into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and ground cumin to create the yogurt sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 6

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the wraps, lay each piece of pita bread flat and spread a generous tablespoon of yogurt sauce down the center. Layer with cooked chicken, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Step 8

Drizzle more yogurt sauce over the top, if desired, and roll the pita bread tightly around the filling to form a wrap.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious chicken pita wraps!
