Ingredient Substitutions and Additions
Here’s a handy substitution table for customizing Greek Chicken Wraps with Hummus:
Ingredient | Swap Option | Flavor Effect |
---|---|---|
Chicken breast | Chicken thighs or turkey strips | Richer, juicier taste |
Pita bread | Whole wheat tortillas | Adds fiber, slightly nutty taste |
Hummus | Baba ganoush or white bean dip | Creamy but smoky or mild flavor |
Feta cheese | Goat cheese or ricotta salata | Tangy or mild creaminess |
Parsley | Fresh dill or mint | Brighter, herbal twist |
How to Make Greek Chicken Wraps with Hummus
Making these wraps is simple. The trick? Marinating the chicken so the flavor runs deep.
Step 1: Marinate and cook the chicken
Toss sliced chicken with olive oil, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for stronger flavor). Then grill or pan-sear until cooked through and beautifully charred.
Step 2: Warm and fill the wraps
Heat pita bread in a skillet until soft and pliable. Spread each one generously with hummus. Add chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and feta. Top with parsley. Fold or roll, and you’re ready to eat.
Serving Suggestions
Greek Chicken Wraps with Hummus are delicious on their own, but here’s how I like to elevate them:
- Pair with a crisp Greek salad on the side.
- Add roasted vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers inside the wrap.
- Serve with oven-baked fries or sweet potato wedges.
- Offer extra dips—like tzatziki or baba ganoush—for variety.
And if you’re looking to switch things up, you might also love trying Greek Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce for a creamy, tangy alternative.
Tips for the Best Greek Chicken Wraps with Hummus
- Don’t skip marinating—the lemon and oregano bring that authentic Greek flavor.
- Use warm pita so it doesn’t tear while rolling.
- Slice veggies small for easier eating.
- Make it extra filling with quinoa or brown rice tucked inside.
- For meal prep, keep ingredients separate and assemble wraps just before serving.
Another variation worth trying? Greek Chicken Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce. That cucumber-garlic tang is unbeatable when you’re craving something extra refreshing.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
If you’ve got leftovers (rare in my house, but it happens):
- Store chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Keep veggies separate so they stay crisp.
- Wraps and hummus can be stored at room temperature for a day or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- To reheat, warm chicken gently in a skillet, then assemble fresh.
