  • small garlic clove

    crushed

  • dried oregano½ tsp tsp
  • Greek yogurt2 tbsp tbsp

  • red pepper1

    from a jar (not in oil), deseeded and sliced

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breast in half lengthways, then cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin to flatten it. Brush with some oil, then cover with the garlic, oregano and some pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken for a few mins each side. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt, cucumber and mint to make tzatziki.

  2. 2

    Cut the tops from the pittas along their longest side and stuff with the chicken, tomato, pepper and tzatziki. Poke in a few mint leaves to serve. If taking to the office for lunch, pack the tzatziki in a separate pot and add just before eating to prevent the pitta going soggy before lunchtime.
