Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breasts (about 12 oz), cooked and sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flatbreads or pita wraps
- 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced (optional)
- 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
- Fresh parsley or mint, chopped, for garnish
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup grated cucumber (squeezed dry)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add sliced cooked chicken breasts and toss well to coat. Let sit while prepping other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to make tzatziki. Stir until creamy and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Thinly slice cucumber, halve grape tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion (soak in cold water to mellow if desired). Chop greens, crumble feta, and slice olives if using.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly golden. Remove chicken and keep warm.
- Wipe out the pan and warm each flatbread for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
- Lay each flatbread on a clean surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons tzatziki down the center.
- Top with greens, chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta, olives, and fresh herbs.
- Drizzle with extra tzatziki or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment if needed.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 30 minutes or overnight. Warm your flatbread before assembling to prevent tearing. Layer tzatziki first to keep wraps creamy and moist. For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating. Swap in chickpeas or falafel for a vegetarian version, or use gluten-free wraps as needed.
