It’s light yet filling, colourful, and easily scaled down for one (no giant tub of tzatziki needed). Think of it as your spring picnic or quick weeknight dinner saviour.
🥗 Why this recipe works for you

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1)
For the Chicken
- 100g chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt & pepper
For the Wrap
- 1 small pita bread or flatbread
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- ¼ cucumber, sliced into sticks
- ½ small tomato, sliced
- A few lettuce leaves
- 2–3 red onion slices (optional)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Toss chicken in olive oil, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a pan and cook slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Warm the bread: Heat pita briefly in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds so it’s soft and foldable.
- Assemble: Spread yoghurt on the bread, pile on lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and chicken. Add onion if using.
- Wrap it up: Fold and wrap like a burrito (or just fold in half and eat street-food style).
🔄 Swaps & Variations
- Protein swap: Try lamb strips, beef, or falafel for variety.
- Sauce swap: Add garlic, dill, or mint to yoghurt for a tzatziki vibe.
- Low-carb: Swap pita for a lettuce wrap.
- Extra flavour: Add feta crumbles or olives for a proper Greek kick.
❄️ Storage & Leftovers
- Best eaten fresh to keep the bread soft and veggies crisp.
- Cooked chicken can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days — perfect for another wrap or salad.
- Prep tip: Make 2 wraps at once, keep one for tomorrow’s lunch (wrap tightly in foil).

💡 Plan4One Tip
When cooking for one, buy a small pack of pita bread and freeze the extras. They thaw in seconds and save you from the dreaded “mouldy bread in the pantry” moment.
