Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat wraps
Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside for flavors to meld.
- Season and warm the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and sprinkle evenly with paprika. Toss well to coat the chicken pieces in the seasoning. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the chicken to warm through and absorb the spices.
- Prepare the vegetables and herbs: Chop the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Set these aside.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt sauce in the center of the wrap. Add a layer of the seasoned chicken on top, followed by the cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, parsley, and dill. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta cheese on top.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all ingredients inside. Repeat the process with the remaining wraps.
- Serving suggestion: Optionally slice each wrap in half for easier handling. Serve immediately, pairing with hummus or a fresh green salad for a balanced Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Notes
- Use warmed cooked chicken breast for best texture and flavor absorption.
- Whole wheat wraps add extra fiber and nutrients compared to white flour tortillas.
- The yogurt sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated to enhance flavor.
- Customize the wraps by adding or substituting vegetables such as bell peppers or lettuce.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the yogurt sauce.
