For the Wraps:

Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden.
Prepare the Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble the Wraps
Warm the pita breads or flatbreads slightly for pliability.
Spread a generous layer of yogurt sauce on each bread.
Top with cooked chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta. Garnish with parsley or mint, if desired.
Wrap and Serve
Fold the sides of the bread and roll into wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes:
For extra flavor, grill the chicken for a smoky taste.
Substitute flatbread with lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
Tips
Prepare the yogurt sauce in advance to enhance its flavors.
Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy alternative.
