Greek Chicken Wrap
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast sliced or shredded
- 4 pita bread or soft flatbreads
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup fresh cucumber diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 4 red onion thinly sliced

- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning so it is bright and creamy.
- Slice the chicken if needed, then prepare the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and greens. Keeping everything ready makes the wraps come together quickly and neatly.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Greek Chicken Wrap
Step 1: Make the yogurt sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning so it is bright and creamy.
Step 2: Prep the filling
Slice the chicken if needed, then prepare the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and greens. Keeping everything ready makes the wraps come together quickly and neatly.
Step 3: Warm the pita
Warm the pita bread or flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds. This helps them soften and makes wrapping easier.
Step 4: Assemble the wrap
Spread a spoonful of yogurt sauce over each pita, then layer on the lettuce, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, feta, and herbs. Keep the filling toward the center so the wrap holds together well.
Step 5: Fold and serve
Fold the sides in, roll up the wrap snugly, and slice in half if you like. Serve right away with extra sauce on the side.
Tips for Success
Do not overfill the pita, or it may split while rolling. Pat the cucumber and tomatoes dry after washing so the wrap stays crisp instead of watery. If you are meal prepping, store the sauce separately and assemble just before eating.
Variations of Greek Chicken Wrap
Try adding hummus for a richer spread, or tuck in roasted red peppers for a sweeter flavor. You can also turn this into a bowl by serving everything over rice or greens instead of using pita. For a little heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or a few sliced pepperoncini.
Serving Suggestions: What to Pair with Greek Chicken Wrap
This wrap pairs nicely with a simple side salad, baked potato wedges, or a cup of soup. For a lighter lunch, serve it with fresh fruit and a few olives on the side. It also works well with sparkling water and lemon for a refreshing meal.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Store the chicken, vegetables, sauce, and pita separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken gently in the microwave or a skillet until warm, then assemble the wrap fresh. If the wrap is already assembled, it is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
Memories Made Around the Table
Meals like this always remind me of easy lunches shared at the table, when everyone wants something simple but still full of flavor. There is something comforting about wrapping up fresh ingredients and sitting down to a meal that feels both casual and thoughtful.
FAQs
Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
Yes, but for the best texture, store the components separately and assemble the wrap just before serving. This keeps the pita soft and the vegetables crisp.
What chicken works best in this recipe?
Cooked grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken all work well. Choose whichever is most convenient and slice or shred it before assembling.
Can I use a different sauce?
Absolutely. Tahini sauce, hummus, or a simple garlic yogurt sauce all taste great with the same ingredients.
How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
Dry the vegetables well, avoid adding too much sauce, and keep juicy ingredients toward the center. Wrapping it tightly also helps hold everything together.
