I still remember the first time I made Mediterranean chicken wraps during a last-minute summer dinner with friends and it instantly became the highlight of the night because the flavors were fresh and bold and yet incredibly simple to prepare. I started with some grilled chicken marinated in lemon and herbs then layered it with a tangy yogurt sauce and crunchy vegetables all wrapped in warm flatbread which made each bite taste like sunshine on a plate.

Since then it has become my go-to recipe whenever I crave something light and satisfying but still packed with flavor and textures and this dish never fails to impress guests or satisfy my family on a busy weeknight because it’s so easy to customize with different toppings and sauces. Whether you’re serving this for lunch or dinner or packing it for a picnic these wraps always bring a fresh Mediterranean vibe to the table.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

Chicken breasts – Tender and juicy protein base for the wrap.
Greek yogurt – Acts as the base for the creamy herbed sauce.
Garlic – Adds bold flavor to both marinade and sauce.
Lemon juice – Brightens the chicken and enhances the dressing.
Olive oil – Helps tenderize the chicken and enrich the sauce.
Cucumber – Brings a fresh, cooling crunch.
Cherry tomatoes – Adds sweetness and vibrant color.
Red onion – For sharpness and a slight crunch.
Fresh parsley – Delivers herby notes throughout the dish.
Crumbled feta – Offers saltiness and creamy texture.
Flatbreads or pita – The soft, warm wrap that holds everything together.

Tools You’ll Need

Grill pan or outdoor grill – For getting that perfect char on the chicken.
Mixing bowls – To marinate the chicken and mix the sauce.
Tongs – Helps to flip and handle the chicken while grilling.
Cutting board – For prepping veggies and slicing grilled chicken.
Sharp knife – Makes chopping ingredients easier and safer.
Spoon – To spread the yogurt sauce evenly inside the wraps.

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

I start by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl. Then I add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors soak in deeply.

Step 2: Prep the Sauce

While the chicken is marinating, I whisk together more Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped parsley, garlic, salt, and crumbled feta for the sauce. I like to keep this chilled in the fridge until everything’s ready.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

I heat up a grill pan or my outdoor grill to medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side until it’s charred and fully cooked. After that, I let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 4: Chop the Vegetables

While the chicken cools, I slice cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. I keep the slices thin so everything fits nicely in the wrap.

Step 5: Warm the Flatbreads

I lightly toast the flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven for a minute or two. This softens them and brings out a slight crispness.

Step 6: Assemble the Wraps

I spread a spoonful of the herbed yogurt sauce on the flatbread, layer in grilled chicken strips, top with fresh veggies, and add a little more sauce on top. Then I fold and serve!

Tips

If I’m prepping ahead, I marinate the chicken the night before for even deeper flavor.
I sometimes swap the feta for hummus if I want a dairy-free option.
For extra heat, I’ll add a few sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red chili flakes.
Flatbreads freeze well, so I always keep a stash in the freezer for wrap nights.

Ways to Serve

With a side of lemon couscous or tabbouleh for a complete meal.
As a build-your-own wrap bar at gatherings guests love customizing their own.
Halved and served as appetizers for parties.
Packed cold in a lunchbox it holds up really well!
