How to Make Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, zesty lemon juice and lemon zest, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add your chicken strips and really mix to coat every single piece. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—an hour is better and up to 6 hours if you can. This infuses the chicken with so much aromatic flavor and helps keep it super juicy when cooked.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat a big skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lay the marinated chicken strips in an even layer and let them sear, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden, slightly crisp on the edges, and cooked through (about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temp reaches 165°F/74°C). Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes will keep it moist and as tender as possible.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
This creamy garlic herb sauce is what sets Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce apart! In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, freshly chopped dill and parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all until smooth and fluffy—taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. The sauce can even be made ahead (just keep it chilled) and doubles as a dip for veggies.
Step 4: Warm the Wraps
Never underestimate a warm pita! Gently heat your flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven for a couple of minutes. This makes them pliable, soft, and ready to roll without splitting, plus it brings out that irresistible bakery-fresh texture.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Now for the fun part! Lay out each wrap, spread a good layer of your creamy sauce down the center, and pile on the cooked chicken. Top with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, cool cucumber, a few rings of red onion, and a sprinkle of feta if you like that extra salty tang. Every layer adds a unique texture and burst of flavor.
Step 6: Wrap & Serve
Fold in the sides of the pita, then roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half (for easy dipping and sharing!) and serve Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce immediately while they’re warm and at their very best. Get ready for a vibrant, drippy, joyfully messy meal!
How to Serve Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce
Garnishes
A great garnish adds flavor and eye appeal! Scatter some extra chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley on top of your wraps for a pop of color. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving will brighten everything, and even a few extra crumbles of feta on top look and taste fabulous.
Side Dishes
Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce are perfectly satisfying on their own, but they’re even better alongside sides that echo those Mediterranean flavors. Serve with a classic Greek salad, crispy roasted potatoes, or a simple bowl of olives. Even homemade tzatziki or a few extra veggie sticks go perfectly for dipping any leftover sauce.
Creative Ways to Present
For an appetizer party, slice Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce into bite-sized pinwheels and secure with toothpicks. Or, lay out all the fillings and sauce build-your-own style for family meals or parties—everyone can create their perfect wrap. Mini wraps work great for lunchboxes or picnics, too!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover cooked chicken and sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. It’s best to keep the veggies and bread apart until you’re ready to assemble another wrap, so everything stays fresh and crisp.
Freezing
You can freeze the cooked, cooled chicken strips in a zip-top bag or airtight container for up to two months. The sauce isn’t freezer-friendly because of the yogurt, so make that part fresh when ready to serve Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce.
Reheating
To reheat chicken, warm gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until just hot. If reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge first. Warm the pita bread separately so it’s soft and flexible when you assemble your wraps with fresh toppings and sauce.
FAQs
Can I make Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce ahead for meal prep?
Absolutely! Prep and cook the chicken and the sauce up to a few days in advance, and keep the fresh veggies chopped and ready in separate containers. Assemble wraps just before eating so the bread stays soft and nothing gets soggy.
Is there a good substitute for Greek yogurt in the sauce?
Full-fat plain yogurt will work well, though you’ll lose some thickness. You can also try dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt for a lactose-free version of Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce.
What’s the best way to keep the wraps from falling apart?
Don’t overfill the wraps, and always warm your pita or flatbread first for flexibility. If you’re taking them to-go, wrap tightly in parchment or foil to help everything stay in place and make Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce extra portable.
Can I grill the chicken instead of using a skillet?
Grilling is a fantastic option! Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat until cooked through for that delicious smoky-char flavor that pairs perfectly in Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce.
Are Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce spicy?
Nope, these wraps are full of warm, savory spices but aren’t hot or spicy. If you like more kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne to the marinade or sprinkle a little chili flakes into the sauce.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for something fresh, satisfying, and endlessly adaptable, you truly can’t go wrong with Greek Chicken Wraps with Sauce. The combination of juicy chicken, creamy herbed sauce, and crisp veggies is always a favorite—whether for weeknight dinners or a fun lunch. Give them a try, and I promise you’ll be making these bright, bold wraps on repeat!
