Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 ½ tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp ground cumin

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 garlic clove, finely minced

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Wraps:

4 pita breads or flatbreads

Lettuce or spinach leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cucumber, diced or sliced

½ small red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.

Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble the Wraps
Warm the pita breads or flatbreads until soft. Spread a layer of the garlic yogurt sauce over each pita, then add lettuce or spinach, chicken slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.

Wrap and Serve
Fold or roll up the wraps and serve immediately. You can drizzle a little extra yogurt sauce on top or serve it on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Marinate longer for richer flavor: If you have time, let the chicken marinate for a few hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the more flavorful and tender it becomes.

Grill for a smoky touch: Use an outdoor grill or a grill pan to get nice char marks and a smoky Mediterranean flavor.

Use thighs for juicier meat: Chicken thighs stay moist and tender even if slightly overcooked, making them ideal for wraps.

Add a crunch: Toss in shredded cabbage, pickled onions, or sliced bell peppers for extra texture.

Spice it up: Sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne into the chicken marinade for a mild kick.

Make it a bowl: Skip the pita and serve the chicken, sauce, and toppings over rice, quinoa, or couscous for a lighter, gluten-free option.

Try a different sauce: Swap the garlic yogurt sauce for tzatziki, hummus, or even a lemon-tahini dressing for a new twist.

Vegan version: Replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas and use dairy-free yogurt for the sauce.

Add olives for tang: A few sliced Kalamata olives bring a true Greek flavor to every bite.

Meal prep tip: Cook a double batch of chicken and store it in the fridge. It reheats well and can be used in salads, wraps, or grain bowls throughout the week.

Q&A

Q: Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling it?
Yes. Bake the marinated chicken at 400°F (200°C) for about 20–25 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it rest before slicing.

Q: Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?
Absolutely. Toss shredded rotisserie chicken in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano for a quick version.

Q: How do I keep the pita from tearing?
Warm it briefly in a dry pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds. Soft pita wraps more easily without breaking.

Q: How long does the garlic yogurt sauce last?
It stays fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Stir before using, as it may thicken slightly over time.

Q: What can I serve on the side?
These wraps pair nicely with Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or a side of hummus and veggies.
