Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a small bowl, make the yogurt sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, remaining olive oil, and fresh dill. Stir well to mix.

Step 6

To assemble the wraps, lay each pita flat and spread a generous tablespoon of yogurt sauce over it.

Step 7

Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion.

Step 8

Layer the sliced chicken evenly over the vegetables.

Step 9

Fold the pita bread around the fillings to create a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy low sodium chicken pita wrap.
