Time
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 12–15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 large pita breads or flatbreads
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup tzatziki sauce
Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
Instructions
Prep the chicken: Slice chicken breasts into strips for faster cooking. Place them in a bowl and season with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for about 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove from heat.
Warm the pita: Lightly toast pita or flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven for 1–2 minutes to soften.
Assemble wraps: Spread tzatziki sauce over each pita. Layer on chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Sprinkle with crumbled feta.
Garnish & serve: Finish with fresh parsley or dill. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
Tips
Slice chicken evenly: Cutting the chicken into even strips helps it cook faster and more evenly.
Marinate ahead: For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
Warm pita properly: Wrap pita in foil and heat in the oven for soft, pliable wraps, or char them lightly over a gas flame for a smoky touch.
Meal prep friendly: Cook the chicken ahead of time and store it separately. Assemble wraps just before serving to keep them fresh.
Variations
Protein swap: Use chicken thighs, turkey, or even grilled shrimp instead of chicken breast.
Veggie boost: Add lettuce, spinach, or roasted red peppers for extra crunch and nutrition.
Spicy kick: Sprinkle chili flakes on the chicken or drizzle a little hot sauce into the wrap.
Cheese swap: Try goat cheese or shaved Parmesan if you want a different flavor profile.
Low-carb option: Swap pita for lettuce wraps or low-carb flatbreads.
Vegan version: Use grilled tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken, and replace tzatziki with a dairy-free version made with coconut or almond yogurt.
Q&A
Q: Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
A: It’s best to assemble them just before serving so the pita doesn’t get soggy. You can prep the chicken and veggies ahead, then build the wraps when ready to eat.
Q: Can I grill the chicken instead of using a skillet?
A: Absolutely. Grilling gives the chicken a smoky, charred flavor that pairs perfectly with the fresh toppings.
Q: What’s a good side dish for these wraps?
A: A Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or even a simple cucumber salad make great accompaniments.
Q: Can I freeze the chicken?
A: Yes. Cooked chicken strips can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before assembling wraps.
