Instructions
Marinate and Cook the Chicken

Assemble the Wraps
Warm pita or flatbreads until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous spoonful of the feta & olive sauce over each wrap.
Add sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and greens.
Fold or roll up tightly.
Serve
Enjoy immediately as a fresh, satisfying meal.
Tips & Variations
Grill for Extra Flavor – Cooking the chicken on an outdoor grill or grill pan gives a smoky char that pairs beautifully with the sauce.
Wrap Alternatives – Try naan, lavash, or whole-grain tortillas instead of pita for different textures.
Low-Carb Version – Swap the pita for lettuce wraps or collard greens.
Make It Spicy – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne to the chicken marinade, or mix some chili paste into the sauce.
Vegetarian Option – Replace chicken with grilled halloumi, falafel, or roasted chickpeas.
Meal Prep Friendly – Cook chicken and make the feta & olive sauce ahead of time; store separately and assemble wraps when ready to eat.
Extra Creaminess – Stir a spoonful of hummus or tzatziki into the wraps for another layer of flavor.
Fresh Herb Swap – Use parsley, basil, or mint instead of dill in the sauce if you prefer.
Q&A
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes. Cook the chicken and prepare the feta & olive sauce up to 2 days ahead. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble the wraps just before serving.
Q: What’s the best way to warm pita or flatbread?
A: You can heat them in a dry skillet for 30–60 seconds per side, wrap them in foil and place in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, or microwave them for 15–20 seconds.
Q: Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking my own?
A: Absolutely. Shredded rotisserie chicken is a quick substitute and works well with the feta & olive sauce.
Q: How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
A: Pat vegetables dry before assembling and keep sauce on the side until serving if you’re packing it for later.
Q: What sides go well with this wrap?
A: A light Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or a simple lentil soup make great pairings.
