Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 large flour tortillas or flatbreads
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
How to Make It
- In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic with a pinch of salt. Set the sauce aside.
- Rub the chicken with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side, until it reaches 165°F. Rest it for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and warm them in a 300°F oven.
- Spread yogurt sauce down the center of each tortilla. Add chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta, olives, and lettuce.
- Fold in the sides, roll the wrap up tightly, and cut it in half on a diagonal. Serve right away.
Pro Tips
- Let the chicken rest before slicing. Cutting it too soon lets the juices run out and dries it out.
- Warm the tortillas before rolling. Cold tortillas crack and tear.
- Do not overfill the wraps. A little less filling makes them much easier to roll and eat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with hummus, pita chips, and a simple Greek salad. They also pair well with a glass of iced tea or lemonade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Cook the chicken and prep the vegetables up to 2 days ahead. Assemble the wraps just before eating so the tortillas stay fresh.
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes. Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut. Season the yogurt sauce a little more generously to make up for the milder chicken.
What can I use instead of feta?
Goat cheese or shredded mozzarella both work. For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese and add extra olives.
