Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Wraps
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 4 large whole wheat wraps
Sauce and Seasoning
- 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
Vegetables and 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
Cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Warm and season the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and sprinkle with paprika. Toss well to coat evenly and warm through for 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the spices.
- Chop the vegetables and herbs: Dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onions, and finely chop the fresh parsley and dill to prepare for assembly.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a whole wheat wrap flat. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of the warm seasoned chicken, followed by cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. Finish with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
- Serve: Optionally slice the wraps in half for easier eating and serve immediately. These wraps pair beautifully with a side of hummus or a crisp green salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast for convenience; rotisserie or leftover chicken works great.
- Adjust the seasoning and yogurt sauce to your taste preference by adding more lemon juice or herbs.
- The wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- To add extra heat, consider a dash of crushed red pepper flakes in the sauce.
