Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken breast and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  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 fully cooked through and has a light golden color.
  3. Prepare the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and minced garlic. Blend or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Heat the pita breads in a dry skillet, oven, or microwave until they become soft and pliable, making them easier to fold.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Place warm pita on a flat surface and layer with shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and olives. Top the veggies with the cooked lemon chicken strips, then drizzle generously with the dill garlic feta sauce.
  6. Serve: Fold the pita into a wrap and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra tang, add a little extra lemon juice to the sauce just before serving.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Use gluten-free pita bread to make this recipe gluten free.
  • Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle heat if desired.
