Ingredients for the Pita Dough

  • 1/2 kg all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 packet yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • Lukewarm water
  • A few drops of olive oil for cooking each pita

For the Filling

  • 1 chicken breast fillet per souvlaki (or any preferred chicken cut)
  • 1 potato per souvlaki
  • 4 slices of tomato per souvlaki
  • 2–3 slices of onion per souvlaki
  • 3–4 slices of red pepper per souvlaki
  • 2 small lettuce leaves per souvlaki
  • 1 tbsp yogurt or tzatziki per souvlaki
  • Salt
  • Sweet paprika
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

For the Pita Dough

  1. Sift the flour into a bowl and create a well in the center. Add the yeast, salt, vinegar, and sugar.
  2. Gradually add lukewarm water while kneading until a soft dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour.
  4. Divide the dough into 4–5 portions, depending on the desired pita size.
  5. Roll out the dough with your hands or a rolling pin, drizzle with olive oil, and cook in a non-stick pan for 3–4 minutes on each side.
  6. Keep the pitas warm until ready to use to maintain their flexibility.

For the Potatoes

  1. Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into rectangular pieces for frying.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown.

For the Chicken

  1. Heat a grill pan over high heat.
  2. Add the chicken breast fillet and grill for 5–6 minutes on each side.
  3. Check for doneness and continue cooking if needed.

Assembly

  1. Lay all the pitas on a clean surface.
  2. On each pita, layer the fried potatoes, grilled chicken, tomato slices, onion, red pepper slices, lettuce, and yogurt or tzatziki.
  3. Sprinkle with sweet paprika and salt to taste.
  4. Fold the pita by bringing the edges together on one side and rolling it tightly into a wrap.

Zesty Marinade & Tender Texture

The chicken soaks in a bright blend of lemon juice, garlic, oregano and olive oil, creating juicy, flavorful bites that stand up well in the wrap.

Crisp Veggies & Creamy Sauce Contrast

Combining crunchy lettuce, ripe tomato, sliced onions with a cooling yogurt or tzatziki sauce adds freshness and texture to every bite.
