A quick, nutritious, and flavorful Greek chicken wrap packed with protein and fresh ingredients, perfect for busy mornings and lunch boxes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced or diced
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup (30g) baby spinach or mixed greens
  • ½ cup (75g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup (120g) tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts or thighs, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor infusion.
  2. While the chicken marinates, thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Rinse and dry the spinach or mixed greens. Set aside.
  3. Heat your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove excess marinade from chicken to avoid too much dripping. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden grill marks appear and juices run clear.
  4. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices. Slice into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  5. Briefly warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
  6. Spread 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce over each tortilla. Layer spinach, sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
  7. Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in parchment or foil to keep fresh and prevent unrolling if packing for lunch boxes.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor. Pat veggies dry to avoid soggy wraps. Let chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Warm tortillas before assembling for easier rolling. Homemade tzatziki enhances freshness but store-bought works well too. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use vegan cheese or skip feta. Gluten-free wraps can be substituted with almond or cassava flour tortillas.
