For the chicken:
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt & pepper, to taste
For the garlic sauce:
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, finely minced

For the wraps:
4 pita breads or flatbreads

Instructions
Marinate chicken: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, coat well, and marinate at least 30 min (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).
Make garlic sauce: Mix yogurt, mayo (if using), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Chill until ready.
Cook chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Cook chicken 5–6 min per side (depending on thickness) until golden and cooked through. Slice into strips.
Assemble wraps: Warm pita bread. Spread garlic sauce, layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and chicken strips. Add feta & parsley if desired.
Serve: Fold and enjoy warm!
Notes & Tips
Roasted garlic option: Roast garlic cloves for a sweeter, milder garlic sauce.
Make it lighter: Use only Greek yogurt in the sauce (skip mayo).
Meal prep: Marinate chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
