Ingredients
- Skinless Chicken Breast: 1 large skinless chicken breast
- Rapeseed Oil: rapeseed oil, for brushing
- Garlic Clove: small garlic clove, crushed
- Oregano: 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Greek Yogurt: 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- Cucumber: 10 cm piece cucumber, grated, excess juice squeezed out
- Mint: 2 tbsp chopped mint, plus a few leaves to serve
- Pitta Bread: 2 wholemeal pitta breads
- Tomatoes: 2 red or yellow tomatoes, sliced
- Red Pepper: 1 red pepper from a jar (not in oil), deseeded and sliced
Directions
- Cut the chicken breast in half lengthways, then cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin to flatten it. Brush with some oil, then cover with the garlic, oregano and some pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken for a few mins each side. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt, cucumber and mint to make tzatziki.
- Cut the tops from the pittas along their longest side and stuff with the chicken, tomato, pepper and tzatziki. Poke in a few mint leaves to serve. If taking to the office for lunch, pack the tzatziki in a separate pot and add just before eating to prevent the pitta going soggy before lunchtime.
