Ingredients

Olive oil: acts as the base of the chicken marinade while also enhancing the texture of the chicken, keeping it juicy and tender.
Minced garlic: a key element in authentic Greek dishes, bringing a robust flavor to the recipe.
Lemon juice: provides acidity to tenderize the chicken while also complementing the flavors of yogurt, cucumber and fresh herbs.
Plain Greek yogurt: serves as the base of the tzatziki sauce while also adding protein and probiotics to the meal.
Herbs and spices: the blend of dill, thyme, salt and pepper elevates the overall flavor.
Chicken breasts: the star protein of the dish that absorbs the marinade flavors once cooked. Swap with chicken tenderloins if necessary.
Shredded cucumber: essential for an authentic tzatziki sauce. Press any excess water from the cucumber after shredding before mixing into the sauce.
Tortillas: spinach tortillas add a burst of color to the recipe and complement the fillings nicely. You can also choose a regular or whole wheat tortilla. The most important thing is choosing a large enough tortilla to accommodate all the fillings.
Cooked rice: a great addition to the wrap to make it a more filling meal. Omit if seeking a lower carb option or swap with steamed cauliflower rice.
Hummus: adds a creamy layer while also acting as a seal when folding the filled wrap.
Red onions: while optional for serving, this veggie does add a vibrant color and a crunch.

How To Make a Greek Chicken Wrap

STEP ONE: Mix the marinade and tzatziki sauce. In a mixing bowl, add the minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.

Divide into 2 bowls. Add the chicken to one of the bowls, using tongs to turn to coat well. Let marinate for about 30 minutes. Add the shredded cucumber to the other bowl and stir well.

STEP TWO: Cook the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on each side for about 4 minutes. Cook until the internal temperature hits 165°F. Remove from the skillet and slice.

STEP THREE: Build the wraps. Divide the rice between the tortillas. Add the chicken, the homemade tzatziki sauce, hummus, and red onions if using. Fold the sides in then roll up. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Chicken Wraps

Make vegetarian by omitting the grilled chicken and mixing chickpeas with the marinade and tzatziki sauce before stuffing into a wrap.
Serve with a lemon wedge for a burst of flavor and freshness.
Make gluten-free by using a gluten-free tortilla or a leaf lettuce wrap.
Pita bread or flatbread can be used in place of the tortillas if desired.
Make dairy-free by swapping the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free plain, unsweetened yogurt or using pesto instead of the tzatziki sauce.
Layer the wrap with the rice on the bottom followed by the chicken to keep the wrap stable and easier to fold.
Be mindful of portion sizes as too many fillings can make the wrap more prone to falling apart. A good rule of thumb is filling two-thirds of the tortilla.
Master the roll by tucking the sides in first, then roll the wrap tightly from one edge to the other. If serving to kids, wrap parchment paper or foil halfway around the wrap to help hold its shape. This is also helpful when enjoying the wrap on-the-go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many wraps does this recipe make?

On average, this recipe yields about 4 wraps depending on the size of wrap that you purchase.

Can I skip the rice in the wraps?

Certainly! If you want a low-carb option, you can omit the rice and focus on the flavorful chicken and hummus combination or incorporate cauliflower rice instead.

Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?

Absolutely! You can replace chicken with turkey, lamb, beef, or vegetarian options like falafel, tofu, or chickpeas for a meatless version.

Serving Greek Chicken Wraps

Wrap recipes are great served on their own, but if you want something more filling, easily pair with sides. A Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives and feta cheese that is drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice is a refreshing option. Roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers and eggplant bring a warm contrast to the chilled wrap. You can also opt for a Greek-style roasted potato for a heartier approach or a fruit salad as a lighter choice.

If you are looking to skip over sides and head straight to dessert, then we have you covered! Our no-bake Pineapple Pretzel Salad, cherry infused Puff Pastries or irresistible Chocolate Sprinkle Cookies never disappoint.

How To Meal Prep Grilled Chicken Wraps

Meal prepping can save time and help encourage healthy eating habits during the week. Here is a quick guide to help you prep Greek chicken wraps:

Determine number of servings – a single batch of this recipe makes enough for 4 wraps. Adjust the amount to meet your needs.
Batch cook chicken – cook all protein then cool and store in airtight containers for up to 5 days. You can also pre-slice for easy wrap assembly.
Prepare sauce – make homemade tzatziki sauce before storing separately from the chicken.
Stock the fridge – ensure your fridge is stocked with cooked rice, tortillas, store-bought or homemade hummus and sliced red onions.

Storing all components of the wraps in separate containers is best for optimal freshness. When ready to eat, assemble the wrap with the prepped ingredients.

Storage Instructions

If the wraps are assembled, store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge. Keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days. I recommend not freezing the wraps. However, you can freeze any leftover cooked chicken to use in future meals. Thaw chicken in the fridge before reheating.

Can This Recipe Be Made Gluten-Free?

Yes! Swap the spinach tortilla with a gluten-free tortilla, and you’ll be set. As a reminder, always verify ingredients in store-bought products.
