For the Chicken Marinade
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Wraps
- 4 pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
For the Creamy Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Grill the chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
- Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Warm the pita breads: Lightly warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable, ready to be filled.
- Assemble the wraps: Place grilled chicken strips on each pita bread, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
- Add the sauce and serve: Drizzle each wrap generously with the creamy garlic yogurt sauce. Fold the wraps and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use whole wheat pita bread for a healthier option.
- If fresh dill is unavailable, dried dill can be used but reduce the quantity to 1 teaspoon.
- Customize the veggies by adding cucumbers or bell peppers as preferred.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute pita bread with gluten-free flatbreads or lettuce wraps.
