Refreshing Greek Chicken Wraps With Tzatziki Sauce and Tapenade

by 3 Comments

There’s nothing worse on a hot Spring or Summer evening than having to cook hot dinner in a hot kitchen and then eating hot food (anybody with me??).

I love finding refreshing dinner options for this time of year. These Greek Chicken pita wraps are full of flavor – the flavor literally POPS – and they are refreshing. And because the chicken is only on the grill for a few minutes, my kitchen didn’t get over-heated.

Notes
I just used one 16 ounce container of Greek yogurt. When I made the tzatziki sauce, actually used 16 ounces minus 3 Tablespoons.

 

I grill pretty much all my meat on my grill/griddler(which is just about the best kitchen tool I own. I use it all the time!). But these chicken breasts could just as easily be cooked in a standard grill outside or broiled in the oven.
