Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tandoori masala
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
Salt to taste
4 pita breads
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup tzatziki or yogurt sauce for drizzling

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt. Add chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Wraps: Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion on each pita.
Assemble: Place sliced chicken on top of the vegetables and drizzle with tzatziki or yogurt sauce.
Serve: Roll up the pita wraps and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
