Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 12 leaves Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown exterior.

Step 5

While the chicken cooks, prepare the lettuce wraps by carefully separating the lettuce leaves and washing them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing a few cooked chicken pieces in each lettuce leaf. Top with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.

Step 7

Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the fillings or serve it on the side as a dip.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy these light and flavorful Chicken Souvlaki Lettuce Wraps!
