Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
Dill Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Prepare the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and season with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and slightly golden to enhance the flavor.
- Make the Dill Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the Pita Breads: Warm the pita breads in a pan or oven for about 1 minute to make them pliable and soft for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Fill each warmed pita with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and the warm seasoned chicken.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the dill garlic yogurt sauce generously over the filling inside each pita. Fold the pita wraps carefully and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- You can substitute pita bread with whole wheat or gluten-free pita for dietary preferences.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier sauce; regular yogurt may be thinner.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness.
- Adding a squeeze of extra lemon juice over the filling right before serving brightens the flavors.
