- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil

Instructions
- Grate half of the cucumber. Squeeze out the excess liquid and add the Greek yoghurt and peeled and finely chopped garlic cloves. Mix well and leave to one side - this is your tzatziki.
- Put the plain flour, corn flour, oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper on a large plate. Mix.
- Crack the egg into a bowl. Beat.
- Put the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking parchment and hit with a rolling pin until 1-1.5cm thick.
- One at a time, dip the chicken breasts into the egg then the flour, ensuring that all sides are coated evenly.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken breast and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, put the pittas in the toaster until warm.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and slice the rest of the cucumber. Slice the pittas in half and spread with the tzatziki.
- Cut the chicken into 1 inch slices and distribute between the pittas. Top with cucumber and tomato.
