How to Make Greek Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Chicken and Veggies

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so every piece is coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes—though longer gives even more flavor.
  2. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the juices run clear and the edges are slightly caramelized.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Assembling the Wraps Like a Pro

  1. Warm your pita breads or flatbreads to make them pliable.
  2. Layer the chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta evenly across each wrap.
  3. Drizzle generously with the garlic yogurt sauce. Don’t skimp—it’s the flavor hero here.
  4. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for freshness and presentation.
  5. Fold or roll the wraps and serve immediately while warm.

Here’s a fun variation: if you like a little heat, try adding a drizzle of harissa—similar to these Greek Chicken Wraps with Spicy Harissa Sauce for a bold twist.
