I remember the first time I tried a Mediterranean chicken wrap. It was at a small cafe during my trip to Greece. The explosion of flavors—the juicy chicken, the tangy sauce, the crunchy vegetables—it was an absolute revelation! I knew right then that I needed to recreate this culinary masterpiece at home. And after many attempts, I think I've finally nailed it. This recipe isn't just about food; it's about bringing a piece of the Mediterranean sunshine to your kitchen and sharing it with those you care about. One of my friends, John, absolutely loved it when I served these at a recent picnic. He said it was way better than anything he'd get at a restaurant, which honestly, made my day!

What makes this wrap so special? It's all about the balance of flavors and textures. The chicken is marinated in a simple yet vibrant blend of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, ensuring it's incredibly tender and flavorful. The vegetables add a satisfying crunch, while the tzatziki sauce provides a cooling and creamy element that ties everything together. You could even try adding some roasted red peppers or olives for an extra burst of Mediterranean goodness. I am telling you, these wraps are addicting!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Tip: Use a ziplock bag to marinate, it's just easier!
  2. **Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce (if using homemade):** In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water first!), minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. I like to add a dash of olive oil on top before serving. Feel free to use store bought if you're short on time, no shame in that!
  3. **Grill the Chicken:** Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips. Pro-tip: Overcooked chicken is a tragedy. Use a meat thermometer!
  4. **Prepare the Vegetables:** While the chicken is grilling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Crumble the feta cheese. Wash and dry the lettuce. If you want, you can lightly dress the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. This step is optional, but it helps bring out the flavors.
  5. **Warm the Pita Bread:** Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they are soft and pliable. You can also warm them in the microwave for a few seconds. Be careful not to burn them!
  6. **Assemble the Wraps:** Lay a warm pita bread on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the pita. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the sliced grilled chicken, diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  7. **Wrap it Up:** Fold in the sides of the pita bread and roll it up tightly, like a burrito. If you want, you can secure the wrap with a toothpick. And that's it! I hope that was easy enough to follow.
  8. **Serve and Enjoy:** Serve the Mediterranean Chicken Wraps immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh. Pair them with a side of hummus and some pita chips for a complete meal. If you have any leftover tzatziki, you can use it as a dip for the pita chips or vegetables.

📝 Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use half the amount.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, olives, or roasted red peppers.
