18 - 1/4 cup cucumber, finely grated and drained
19 - 1 clove garlic, minced
20 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
21 - Salt and pepper to taste
# Directions:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor penetration.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Preheat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
04 - Heat dry skillet or oven to medium-low. Warm flatbreads for 1 to 2 minutes until soft and pliable, being careful not to toast or crisp them.
05 - Spread generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each warm flatbread. Layer baby spinach or arugula, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with additional tzatziki if desired and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Its like eating a vacation on a plate without leaving your kitchen
- The homemade tzatziki alone will become your new favorite condiment for everything
02 -
- Squeeze every drop of liquid from the grated cucumber or your tzatziki will turn watery
- Let the chicken rest before slicing or all those juices will escape onto the cutting board
03 -
- Pound the chicken to even thickness so it cooks uniformly
- Warm your tzatziki slightly before spreading if it has been refrigerated
