Description
These Greek Chicken Wraps & Spicy Harissa Sauce bring together juicy lemon-oregano chicken, crisp vegetables, and tangy feta, all tucked into warm pita and drizzled with a creamy, smoky-spicy sauce. It’s quick enough for weeknights, balanced enough for healthy eating, and delicious enough to feel like a Mediterranean escape in every bite.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- For the Wraps
- 4 large pita or flatbreads
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted & sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh parsley or dill, chopped
- For the Spicy Harissa Sauce
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ tbsp harissa paste (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp honey
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips, toss well, and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and fully cooked.
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, harissa paste, lemon juice, and honey until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.
Warm pita breads until soft and pliable.
Assemble wraps by layering chicken, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
Drizzle generously with harissa sauce, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and fold into wraps.
Notes
Adjust spice: Use less harissa paste for mild heat or add more for extra kick.
Meal prep: Cook chicken ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh when ready to eat.
Vegetarian option: Swap chicken for grilled halloumi or roasted chickpeas.
Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free wraps or lettuce cups instead of pita.
