# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in 30 minutes, so you can have a vibrant meal on the table even on a weeknight.
  • The homemade tzatziki tastes fresher and brighter than anything from a store, and you control the garlic level.
  • Each bite delivers crunch, creaminess, and that lemony Mediterranean brightness that feels light but completely satisfying.
  • Leftovers pack beautifully for lunch the next day, and the flavors only get better as they meld.
02 -
  • Squeeze the grated cucumber as hard as you can before adding it to the yogurt, any extra moisture will make your tzatziki runny and sad.
  • Do not skip marinating the chicken, even 10 minutes makes a difference in flavor and tenderness.
  • Warm your pitas or they will crack when you try to fold them, trust me on this one.
  • If your grill pan is too hot, the chicken will char on the outside before cooking through, so medium high is the sweet spot.
03 -
  • If you want deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for an hour or even overnight in the fridge.
  • A quick char on the pita over an open flame adds a smoky touch that makes the wraps taste even more authentic.
  • Double the tzatziki recipe, it is delicious on everything from roasted vegetables to baked potatoes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, so you never have to guess if it is done.
