Step 1 — Make the tzatziki
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate while you prepare everything else. The longer it sits, the better the flavor develops.
Step 2 — Marinate the chicken
In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes — or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
Step 3 — Cook the chicken
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken slices for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Step 4 — Prep the vegetables
While the chicken cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Arrange them in small bowls for easy assembly.
Step 5 — Assemble the wraps
Lay out your lettuce leaves like cups. Add a few slices of chicken, a spoonful of each vegetable, some kalamata olives, and a generous crumble of feta cheese.
Step 6 — Drizzle with tzatziki
Spoon a generous amount of tzatziki over each wrap. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 7 — Serve immediately
These are best eaten fresh and cold. Grab, fold, and bite — the crunch of the lettuce against the juicy chicken and creamy tzatziki is absolutely incredible. 🥗
Why This Is The Perfect Summer Lunch
Summer heat kills your appetite for heavy, carb-loaded meals. Your body naturally craves something lighter, fresher, and more hydrating.
Lettuce wraps give you all the satisfaction of a sandwich — the hand-held experience, the filling, the sauce — without the heaviness of bread. The high water content of lettuce and cucumber keeps you hydrated. The lean chicken protein keeps you full without weighing you down. And the bright Mediterranean flavors wake up your taste buds even on the hottest days.
This is exactly what summer eating should feel like.
