Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the grilled chicken into strips.
Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt.
Assemble the Wraps: Warm the pita breads and spread tzatziki sauce inside each pita. Add greens, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper.
Wrap and Serve: Gently fold the pita over the fillings and serve immediately.
