Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 1 1/2 lbs (700g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wraps

  • 4–6 pita breads
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken strips and toss well to coat them evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Pita Wraps: Warm the pita breads briefly to make them pliable. Spread a generous layer of the garlic yogurt sauce onto each pita. Top with cooked chicken strips, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Serve: Fold the pitas over the fillings to create wraps. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Greek Chicken Pita Wraps.

Notes

  • You can use either chicken breasts or thighs depending on your preference; thighs tend to be juicier.
  • Marinating the chicken longer, up to 2 hours, will enhance the flavor more deeply.
  • Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven wrapped in foil for softness and pliability.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Store leftover components separately and assemble before serving to maintain freshness.
  • This recipe can be adapted to gluten-free by using gluten-free pita or wraps.
