Preparation

In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon zest and olive. Portion into individual containers or one container, cover and refrigerate until serving, for up to 1 day.

Place one lettuce leaf on each pita; arrange chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion (if using), Canadian Feta cheese and oregano in a line down the centre of each, dividing evenly. Fold top and bottom of pita over filling, then roll up pita tightly around filling to enclose.

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate until serving, for up to 4 hours. To serve, unwrap pita, cut in half crosswise, if desired, and serve with lemon-olive yogurt for dipping or spreading.

Tips

Lining the pita with a lettuce leaf keeps the pita from getting soggy. Be sure to pat the lettuce dry thoroughly after washing.

Grill or roast some extra chicken when you’re making dinner to use in these wraps. You’ll need about 1 boneless skinless breast for this recipe. Wrap cooled cooked chicken and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

If you want to make these wraps and eat them right away, you can spread the lemon-olive yogurt on the pita before assembling the wrap instead of serving it on the side.
