Step 1
Slice chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat chicken generously and let sit 10 minutes.
Step 3
Dice tomato and cucumber into small chunks. Stir yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 90 seconds. Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Step 5
Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 2 minutes. Slice into strips.
Step 6
Warm pita in the skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and microwave for 1 minute.
Step 7
Spread 2 tbsp yogurt sauce on each pita. Layer chicken strips, tomato, and cucumber. Roll tightly and serve.
