Ingredients
For the Chicken Souvlaki
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Yogurt Sauce
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
½ garlic clove, minced

For the Wraps
2–3 Greek flatbreads or whole-wheat pitas
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ small cucumber, thinly sliced
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh herbs
Optional: lettuce or arugula for extra crunch
Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Grill the Chicken
Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Thread chicken onto skewers (if using) and grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
Remove from grill and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
3. Make the Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and herbs until smooth.
Chill until ready to serve.
4. Warm the Flatbread
Heat flatbreads on a skillet or grill for 30 seconds per side until soft and warm.
5. Assemble the Wraps
Spread a generous spoonful of yogurt sauce on each flatbread.
Add grilled chicken pieces, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, feta, and herbs.
Drizzle extra yogurt sauce on top.
Roll or fold the wrap and serve immediately.
Notes & Tips
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of sumac or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Use whole-wheat or high-protein flatbread for a healthier option.
If you don’t have a grill, you can pan-sear or bake the chicken instead.
Add avocado slices or roasted red peppers for a modern twist.
