Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 medium pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked through and slightly browned.
- Warm the pita breads according to package directions, usually by heating them briefly in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm pita flat. Spread a generous amount of the garlic yogurt sauce on the center. Layer with cooked chicken, lettuce, cucumber, feta cheese, and parsley.
- Fold the sides of the pita inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For faster preparation, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and shred it.
- To make this recipe lower in fat, use non-fat Greek yogurt for the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, strain the yogurt through cheesecloth for 30 minutes before mixing the sauce ingredients.
