Make the chicken

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice and garlic to a large bowl.
  • Take the chicken breasts and poke holes into each piece of chicken with a fork. Then, cut into 1.5-inch cubes. Add the chicken to the bowl with the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat a grill pan on medium high for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan and allow to rest for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Wrap four to five flatbreads in a piece of foil and place in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes to heat through.

To serve:

  • add lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced onions and cucumber yogurt sauce to each flatbread. Add chicken and more cucumber yogurt sauce on top.
  • Wrap each in a piece of foil to make it less messy when eating. And serve immediately.
