Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large pitas or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Warm the pitas or flatbreads in a pan or microwave to make them pliable. Place the warmed pitas on a clean surface.
  5. To assemble the wraps, divide the shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, diced tomato, cooked chicken, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta cheese evenly among the pitas. Fold in the sides of the pitas and roll them tightly into wraps.

Notes

To perfect your chicken souvlaki wraps, here are a few tips: Firstly, don’t overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. Make sure to preheat the grill pan or skillet to get those beautiful grill marks and caramelization. Secondly, feel free to add additional toppings or condiments like olives, cucumbers, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavors. Thirdly, if you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables or falafel. Serve the wraps with a side of crispy Greek fries or a refreshing Greek salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
