Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemon Grilled Chicken

  • 1½ lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Dill Feta Sauce

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 1–2 tablespoons warm water (to thin if needed)

For the Wrap Assembly

  • 4–6 soft pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: sliced olives or pickled onions

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until nicely charred and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Dill Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, and grated garlic. Blend or mash until smooth and creamy. Add warm water gradually until you reach a drizzle-friendly consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the pita breads slightly to make them flexible. Spread a generous layer of creamy dill feta sauce onto each pita. Top with sliced grilled chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with additional sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Fold and wrap tightly. Serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, but up to 4 hours for best flavor.
  • Make sure to rest the grilled chicken before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Adjust the consistency of the sauce with warm water for easier spreading.
  • You can add sliced olives or pickled onions for an extra tangy taste.
  • Serve the wraps immediately to enjoy them fresh and warm.
