INGREDIENTS NEEDED

Making Greek chicken wraps requires just a few ingredients, but each one adds a punch of flavor:

  • Chicken – Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are ideal for their juiciness and tenderness, but other cuts will work well too.
  • Seasonings – A simple combination of dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and fresh lemon zest gives the chicken a classic Mediterranean taste.
  • Wraps – Lavash flatbread is a great choice for wrapping the ingredients, but any flatbread or tortilla that’s sturdy enough to hold all the fillings will work.
  • Tzatziki & Hummus – These spreads add creaminess and tang to the wrap. Tzatziki is light and refreshing, while hummus offers a nutty richness.
  • Veggies – Fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and romaine lettuce give a refreshing crunch that complements the warm chicken.
  • Feta Cheese – This salty and crumbly cheese is a key element of Mediterranean dishes, adding a distinct flavor to the wrap.

EASY RECIPE SUBSTITUTIONS

Feel free to adapt the recipe to fit your needs or preferences. Here are a few simple substitutions:

  • Chicken Swap: While chicken thighs are flavorful, chicken breast, turkey, or shrimp can be used for variety.
  • Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, simply omit the feta and use dairy-free tzatziki (made with coconut or cashew yogurt).
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for crispy air fryer tofu, baked falafel, or a Greek chickpea salad for a plant-based alternative.
  • Wrap Alternatives: No lavash? Pita, naan, or even large lettuce leaves or collard greens can be used to create a lower-carb version.

HOW TO MAKE GREEK CHICKEN WRAPS

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to prepare these wraps:

  1. Warm the Wraps: Slightly warm the wraps to make them more pliable. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of tzatziki and 1-2 tablespoons of hummus on each wrap.
  2. Add Chicken: Place about ¼ of the cooked chicken on top of the tzatziki and hummus.
  3. Top with Veggies and Feta: Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and a couple of romaine lettuce leaves.
  4. Roll the Wrap: Roll up the wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Enjoy!

TIPS FOR MAKING GREEK CHICKEN WRAPS

  • Warm Your Wraps: If the wraps are too stiff, warm them for 10-15 seconds in a dry skillet or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds. This will make them easier to roll without tearing.
  • Roll Tightly: For a neat wrap, ensure the sides are tucked in as you roll. If necessary, use parchment paper or foil to secure the wrap and make it easier to grab and go.

HOW TO STORE GREEK CHICKEN WRAPS

  • For Meal Prep: Store each component separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, warm the chicken and assemble the wrap fresh to maintain the best texture.
  • Storing Assembled Wraps: If the wraps have already been made, wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper and store them in the fridge for up to 1 day. They may become a little soft, but they will still taste great!
  • Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze fully assembled wraps, as they may become soggy. However, the cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating and assembling the wraps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To keep the wrap from getting soggy, spread a layer of hummus or tzatziki on the flatbread before adding the veggies. This acts as a barrier to prevent moisture from soaking into the bread. It’s also a good idea to avoid using too many juicy ingredients, like tomatoes, if the wraps are being prepared in advance.
