- 2 pieces chicken breasts

Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts well.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken until cooked through, about 6–7 minutes per side. Let it rest, then slice thin.
- For the tzatziki, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (drained), minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Warm the pita bread.
Assembly
- Place sliced chicken inside the warm pita.
- Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced cucumber.

Notes
Pound chicken for even cooking, let rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Drain cucumber well for thicker tzatziki. Serve with lemon wedges and optional sides like fries or salad.
