Ingredients:
For the Sauce
2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons dill sprigs, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
For the Wrap
1 (6-ounce) boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoon light italian dressing
4 (6-inches) whole-wheat pita bread
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 kalamata olives, or black olives, pitted and sliced
Directions:
For the Sauce
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients until blended.
- Sauce may be made up to 2 hours in advance.
- Cover and refrigerate until serving.
For the Wrap
- Place chicken breast in a plastic bag and add Italian dressing. Let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes; pound (using a flat meat pounder or mallet or the bottom of a skillet) and flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness; remove chicken.
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chicken breast about 5 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through. Place chicken on a cutting board and slice thinly against the grain; set aside.
- Warm pitas in microwave oven for 30 seconds.
- Place one pita on a plate and spread 1/2 cup of the lettuce and 1/4 of the chicken slices on top.
- Sprinkle 1/4 each of the tomato, onion, Feta cheese and olives. Spoon some of the tzatziki sauce over top and fold in edges of pita.
- Wrap sandwich in parchment or waxed paper for plating and serving. Repeat with remaining pitas.
- Serve immediately with additional sauce on the side.
