Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Souvlaki

  • 500 g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Cucumber Feta Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • Fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped (approx. 2 tbsp)
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • 4 pita breads or flatbreads
  • Sliced tomatoes (about 1 medium tomato)
  • Sliced red onion (about ¼ medium onion)
  • Shredded lettuce (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add the chicken breasts or thighs, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown, slightly charred, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C / 165°F). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. Make the Cucumber Feta Sauce: In a bowl or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, grated cucumber (fully squeezed to remove excess water), olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, and freshly chopped dill or parsley. Blend or stir until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Season with black pepper to taste.
  4. Warm the Pitas: Lightly warm the pita breads or flatbreads in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable, about 1–2 minutes per side.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed pita flat and spread a generous spoonful of the creamy cucumber feta sauce. Top with sliced chicken souvlaki, fresh sliced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
  6. Serve: Fold the wraps and serve immediately with extra creamy cucumber feta sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness significantly.
  • Use Greek yogurt for the sauce to achieve an authentic tang and creamy texture.
  • Make sure to squeeze excess water from the grated cucumber to prevent a watery sauce.
  • For a smoky flavor, cook the chicken on an outdoor grill.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer juicier meat.
  • Wraps can be customized with additional veggies like bell peppers or olives.
  • Store leftovers separately—keep chicken and sauce refrigerated and assemble wraps fresh to avoid sogginess.
