Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

For the Wraps

  • 6 large pita breads or soft flatbreads
  • 1½ cups classic hummus
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Optional Add-Ons

  • Kalamata olives, sliced
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Extra lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice the chicken into thin strips suitable for wrapping.
  5. Warm the Pita Breads: Gently warm the pita breads or flatbreads to make them pliable and easier to roll.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of classic hummus over each warmed pita. Arrange the sliced chicken evenly on top, followed by halved cherry tomatoes, thin cucumber slices, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  7. Garnish and Add Extras: Sprinkle the wraps with freshly chopped parsley or dill. Add optional toppings like sliced Kalamata olives, shredded lettuce, or extra lemon wedges as desired.
  8. Serve: Roll or fold each pita tightly into a wrap and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor development.
  • Use skinless chicken thighs for juicier meat or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
  • Warm pitas slightly in a microwave or on a skillet to prevent cracking when wrapping.
  • Customize toppings based on preference, such as adding shredded lettuce or olives for extra texture.
  • Serve with Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or sweet potato wedges for a complete meal.
  • Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days but are best eaten fresh.
