A vibrant and flavorful Greek Lemon Chicken Pita Wrap, featuring tender marinated chicken strips, fresh vegetables, and a creamy dill feta sauce, perfect for a quick and healthy Mediterranean-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wrap:

  • 4 large pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

For the Creamy Dill Feta Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook them thoroughly for about 5–7 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Dill Feta Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Warm the Pita Bread: Warm the pita breads in a pan or oven for about a minute to soften and enhance their flavor, making them easier to fold and eat.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous amount of the creamy dill feta sauce on each warmed pita. Layer with cooked chicken strips, shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  6. Serve: Fold the pita to enclose the fillings. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast with boneless chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free sauce, replace Greek yogurt and feta with a vegan yogurt and omit feta.
  • Feel free to add kalamata olives or sliced avocado for extra flavor and creaminess.
  • Wraps can be made ahead by preparing components separately and assembling just before serving to keep pitas from becoming soggy.
