Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 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 Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts or thighs and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Slightly warm the pita breads either on the grill, in a skillet, or in the oven to make them soft and pliable for wrapping.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each pita bread and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Add a generous portion of the sliced grilled chicken on top.
  6. Add the Sauce and Serve: Drizzle each wrap generously with the prepared lemon garlic yogurt sauce. Fold the pita around the fillings securely and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier result.
  • Marinating longer, up to 2 hours, enhances flavor.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese inside the wrap.
  • Use gluten-free pita if you require a gluten-free option.
  • The lemon garlic yogurt sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
