Mediterranean Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These Mediterranean Chicken Wraps are a fresh and flavorful meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Packed with seasoned chicken, crisp vegetables, and a creamy yogurt sauce, they come together quickly and offer a healthy, satisfying bite every time.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
• 4 large whole wheat wraps
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken, sprinkle with paprika, and toss to coat evenly. Allow the chicken to warm through and absorb the seasoning, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Prep the vegetables: Chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and dill. These fresh ingredients provide crunch and vibrant flavor.
4. Assemble the wraps: Lay a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of seasoned chicken, then top with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and herbs. Sprinkle with feta cheese for a creamy finish.
5. Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
6. Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. Pair with a side of hummus or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, marinate the cooked chicken briefly in lemon juice and oregano before warming it.
• Swap out the whole wheat wraps for gluten-free options if needed.
• Add sliced avocado or roasted red peppers for a richer texture.
• Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense garlic taste in the sauce.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the wraps from becoming soggy, consider storing the sauce and vegetables separately and assembling just before eating. Reheat the chicken gently in a pan or microwave before assembling.
