Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Herbs
- 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
Others
- 4 large whole wheat wraps
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- 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, about 3–4 minutes, letting it absorb the seasoning.
- Prep the Vegetables: Chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and dill. These fresh ingredients add crunch and vibrant flavor to the wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of seasoned chicken, then top with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, herbs, and sprinkle with feta cheese for a creamy finish.
- Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to secure the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining wraps.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. For a complete meal, pair with a side of hummus or a crisp green salad.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast for quick assembly; rotisserie chicken works perfectly.
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken with garlic powder and oregano before cooking.
- Whole wheat wraps provide a healthier option but you can substitute with your favorite wrap type.
- Adjust the amount of feta cheese to taste, or substitute with goat cheese for a different flavor.
- Wraps are best served fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
