05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

10 - 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
11 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
12 - 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
13 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

17 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
18 - 1/4 cup cucumber, grated and drained
19 - 1 clove garlic, minced
20 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
21 - Salt and pepper to taste
# How to Make It:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and 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. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
04 - Heat flatbreads in a dry skillet or 350°F oven for 1 to 2 minutes until warm and pliable.
05 - Spread generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each warm flatbread. Layer with spinach or arugula, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with additional tzatziki if desired.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- The tzatziki sauce comes together in minutes but tastes like it simmered for hours
- Everything can be prepped ahead so you are not stuck in the kitchen when guests arrive
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all those juices inside instead of on your cutting board
- The tzatziki needs at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator for the garlic to mellow properly
03 -
- Grate your cucumber for the tzatziki then squeeze out excess moisture in a clean towel
- Warm your flatbreads directly over a gas burner flame for extra char and flavor
