  • Fresh and filling without feeling heavy
  • Great for meal prep and lunchboxes
  • Ready in 35 minutes

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

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic with a pinch of salt. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Rub the chicken with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Spread yogurt sauce down the center of each tortilla. Add chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta, olives, and lettuce.
  3. 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.
