Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 warm pita breads
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, half the garlic, oregano and salt, then toss with the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat, turning, until charred and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, remaining garlic and dill to make the tzatziki, and season with a pinch of salt.
- Toss the shredded cabbage, cherry tomatoes and red onion with a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil for the summer slaw.
- Warm the pitas at the edge of the grill until soft and pliable.
- Slide the grilled chicken off the skewers and pile it down the center of each pita.
- Top with a spoonful of tzatziki and a handful of the crunchy slaw, then roll into a wrap.
- Souvlaki, from the Greek word for little skewer, is the beloved street food of Athens, where smoky charcoal-grilled meat is tucked into warm pita with cool yogurt sauce. Bright with lemon and oregano and stuffed with a fresh summer slaw, these wraps make a fast, handheld lunch that keeps the grill busy between the burgers and ribs of a Fourth of July cookout.
