Fry in a hot pan, griddle, or BBQ until cooked through and golden on all sides.Make the minted salad
In a bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, red onion, mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.Build your wrap
Warm the flatbreads, spread with yoghurt or tzatziki, pile on the chicken and minted salad, and squeeze over lemon juice.Try not to make groaning noises while you eat it

Keep your salad ingredients pre-chopped in a tub, and double the marinade for tomorrowโs dinner.
