Key Ingredients

Here’s a quick look at the star players that make these wraps so irresistible:

• 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts: Lean protein marinated in olive oil and herbs for tender, flavorful strips.
• 1 tablespoon olive oil: Carrier for spices and helps create a savory marinade.
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano: Classic Mediterranean herb that infuses the chicken with earthy flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a subtle kick of garlic without overpowering.
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika: Provides mild smokiness and vibrant color.
• Salt, to taste: Enhances all the flavors in the marinade and filling.
• Pepper, to taste: Balances the seasoning with a hint of heat.
• 4 pieces flour tortillas: Soft wraps that hold all the fillings together.
• 1 cup shredded lettuce: Adds crisp freshness and a light crunch.
• 1 medium tomato, diced: Brings juicy sweetness and bright acidity.
• 1/2 cup sliced red onion: Offers sharp bite and pops of color.
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese: Creamy and tangy, it’s signature to Greek cuisine.
• 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce: Cool cucumber-yogurt sauce that ties all the flavors together.
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley: Finishing touch of herbal brightness and color.

How To Make Greek Chicken Wraps

These wraps come together in just a few straightforward steps—marinating the chicken, cooking it to juicy perfection, and then layering everything inside a soft tortilla for maximum flavor in every bite. Follow along and you’ll have a Mediterranean masterpiece ready in under 40 minutes.

1. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined to form a fragrant marinade.

2. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and turn to coat evenly, ensuring each piece soaks up those herby flavors. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the seasoning penetrate.

3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until the meat is no longer pink inside and registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into strips.

4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan for about 20–30 seconds per side or microwave for 15 seconds until they’re soft and pliable.

5. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Build your wrap by layering shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, diced tomato, red onion slices, and crumbled feta cheese.

6. Spoon tzatziki sauce evenly over the fillings and finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly. Slice in half diagonally if desired and enjoy your handheld taste of Greece.

Serving Suggestions

These Greek Chicken Wraps shine on their own, but a few thoughtful sides can turn them into a full Mediterranean feast.

• Serve with warm pita chips and a side of extra tzatziki for dipping each bite in creamy goodness.
• Pair alongside a refreshing Greek salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Enjoy with a bowl of lemon-herb quinoa or fluffy couscous for a hearty, protein-packed meal.
