Preparing Greek Chicken Wraps with Tzatziki & Crispy Chickpeas
Getting started with this recipe is straightforward and doesn’t require any culinary wizardry. You’ll first dry-roast the chickpeas until they’re crisp and golden, followed by quick-searing the chicken, which only takes about 5–6 minutes. Meanwhile, you’ll whip up a refreshing tzatziki sauce that elevates the dish. Finally, you’ll assemble everything in a warm flatbread, allowing your taste buds to celebrate!

Here’s a list of the essential ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
