- 1/2 iceberg lettuce
- 1 red onion
- 6-8 tortilla wraps/ flatbreads / thin pittas - i prefer tortillas

Marinade
- 1/2 a cucumber
- 200g tomatoes
- 1/2 iceberg lettuce
- 1 red onion
- 6-8 tortilla wraps/ flatbreads / thin pittas - i prefer tortillas
- homemade/pre-made tzatziki
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 3 Garlic Cloves (minced/finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 6-8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
Method
- STEP 1Prepare the Chicken Marinade first. Get a large bowl. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the Chicken Thighs and give it a mix with your hands. Make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies. Add more oregano if necessary. Leave for 30ish minutes.
- STEP 2Prepare wrap ingredients. Slice tomatoes, slice cucumber into half moon shapes, THINLY slice onions and slice the lettuce.
- STEP 3Add the marinated chicken to a medium-heat skillet or frying pan for 5-7 minutes. Cook in 2 batches to avoid over crowding the pan (this should allow it to brown nicely). Once nicely browned and cooked through leave to rest on a chopping board for 5 minutes before slicing.
- STEP 4Build the wraps. Toast the flatbread or tortilla on a frying pan. I place a tortilla directly onto the gas as this gives a nice charred flavour. You may prefer to heat in frying pan.
- STEP 5Build the wraps - tortilla/flatbreat, then lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomatoes.and tzatziki. Be careful not to over fill, just a little of each is best. Slice the rested chicken and add to the wrap. And enjoy!
- STEP 6To wrap the tortilla properly, first fold up from the bottom, the fold the two adjacent sides over.
