Ingredients

  • Chicken and Marinade
  • 10 oz skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp dried Greek oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Souvlaki
  • A little olive oil
  • 12 zucchini, shaved or sliced into thin strips
  • 4 warm flatbreads
  • 12 red onion, finely sliced
  • Tzatziki

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a bowl with all other marinade ingredients. Cover and leave in fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat oven broiler to maximum or heat an outdoor grill. Thread marinated meat onto metal skewers. Broil in the oven or on the grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  3. Heat a griddle or frying pan over high heat with a little oil. Cook zucchini until it just begins to brown, just a minute or two.
  4. Stack each flatbread with chicken, zucchini, a little onion, and tzatziki. Roll up and serve immediately.
