    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken with plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.

    3

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: dice the tomatoes and cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Crumble the feta cheese.

    4

    Lightly warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or oven until pliable.

    5

    Place a few tablespoons of tzatziki sauce in the center of each warmed pita, then top with the cooked chicken strips, fresh vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese. Roll up and secure with a toothpick if needed.

    6

    Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with extra tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of freshness.
