For the Lemon Chicken:
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce:
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Wraps:
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a lightly golden exterior.
- Prepare the dill garlic feta sauce: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and minced garlic. Blend or whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Warm the pita breads: Heat the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable to prevent cracking when folded.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out each pita bread and layer cooked lemon chicken strips, shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and olives evenly across. Drizzle generously with the dill garlic feta sauce.
- Serve: Fold each pita to form a wrap and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- For extra zest, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier sauce or a lower-fat version if preferred.
- Feel free to add other fresh veggies like bell peppers or spinach for more crunch and nutrients.
- Make the sauce ahead of time; it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute pita bread with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
