Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Greek Lemon Chicken

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Black pepper to taste

For Assembly

  • 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate and Cook the Chicken – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let sit for at least 20–30 minutes. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.
  2. Prepare the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce – In a food processor or blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, olive oil, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Assemble the Pita Wraps – Warm pita breads slightly for flexibility. Spread a generous layer of dill garlic feta sauce on each pita. Add sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives. Garnish with fresh parsley and fold into wraps. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings in the pita wraps based on your preferences.
  • Feel free to add more herbs or spices to the marinade for the chicken for extra flavor.
