Ingredients

Scale

For the Greek Chicken

  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Wrap Components

  • 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss well to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and slice into thin strips.
  3. Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until smooth and creamy. Chill briefly in the refrigerator if time allows to let flavors meld.
  4. Warm the Wraps: Warm the pita breads or flatbreads in a dry pan or oven until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to roll.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous amount of garlic yogurt sauce over each warm wrap. Layer with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and fresh herbs such as parsley or dill.
  6. Serve: Roll the wraps tightly to enclose the filling and serve warm. Offer extra garlic yogurt sauce on the side for dipping or extra flavor.

Notes

  • The chicken can be marinated overnight for more intense flavor.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier meat or chicken breasts for leaner options.
  • Adjust garlic quantity in the yogurt sauce according to taste preference.
  • Substitute fresh herbs with mint for a different fresh twist.
  • These wraps can be wrapped in foil and saved for meal prep or lunch on the go.
