Ingredients
large frying pan, mixing bowl, box grater, knife, chopping board
Method
Slice the chicken into thin strips. Halve the tomatoes, shred the lettuce, thinly slice the red onion, grate half the cucumber, dice the remaining cucumber, grate the garlic, and cut the lemon in half.
Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the oregano, half the garlic, lemon zest, juice from half the lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning often, until golden at the edges and piping hot through the thickest pieces.
Squeeze excess water from the grated cucumber, then mix it with the Greek yoghurt, remaining garlic, juice from the remaining lemon half, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Warm the pittas in a toaster or dry pan for 1-2 minutes until soft and lightly puffed. Cut each one into halves or wedges.
Divide the lettuce, tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, chicken, pittas, and tzatziki between plates or lunch boxes. Spoon any resting juices from the chicken over the top.
