How to Make Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Marinating and Grilling the Chicken

To start Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce, prepare the marinade.

In a bowl combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fragrant.

Add the chicken and coat every piece well. This marinade gives Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce their signature flavor.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, although longer marinating produces deeper flavor.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly charred.

Remove the chicken and allow it to rest for five minutes before slicing thinly. Resting helps keep the chicken juicy—something that makes Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce especially satisfying.

Preparing the Sauce and Assembling the Wraps

Now it’s time to build Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce.

In a bowl combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Warm the pita breads in a skillet or oven. This step softens the bread and makes wrapping easier.

Spread a generous layer of garlic yogurt sauce onto each pita. Add sliced grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

Sprinkle parsley on top.

Fold the pita and enjoy homemade Greek Grilled Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce that taste like they came straight from a Mediterranean café.
