Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

  • 4 pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½–1 teaspoon hot sauce or chili paste
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken breasts and mix well to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and slightly charred for a smoky flavor.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce or chili paste, and salt. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Lightly warm the pita breads or flatbreads in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to wrap.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: On each warm pita, layer shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Add the grilled chicken strips on top.
  6. Add Sauce and Garnish: Generously drizzle the spicy garlic yogurt sauce over the fillings. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, herbaceous finish.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold the pita to enclose the ingredients and wrap tightly. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken longer, up to 2 hours, enhances flavor even more.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier meat.
  • Adjust the hot sauce in the yogurt sauce to control the spice level.
  • Serve with extra lemon wedges for added brightness.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free pita or flatbread.
