Greek Chicken Wraps

Iris Warren

Report

Greek Chicken Wraps are prepared with garlic-marinated, pan-cooked chicken thighs paired with a dill yogurt sauce and fresh vegetables like grape tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. The wraps combine tender, flavorful meat with crisp, tangy accompaniments inside flatbread, delivering a balanced taste and texture reminiscent of Mediterranean cuisine.

Description

This recipe starts by marinating boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and freshly cracked pepper for 30 minutes. This marinade infuses the chicken with citrusy and herbaceous notes. The thighs are then pan-cooked over medium heat until well browned and cooked through, ensuring a juicy interior and flavorful crust.

The dill yogurt sauce combines Greek yogurt, dried dill, lemon juice, and salt, providing a cool, tangy complement to the savory chicken. Fresh vegetables are prepared by slicing grape tomatoes in half, dicing cucumber, and soaking thinly sliced red onion in ice water to soften its sharpness. These add crispness and brightness to the wraps.

The chicken, sauce, and vegetables are assembled on pieces of flatbread along with hummus, creating a layered wrap featuring creamy, fresh, and savory elements. This combination makes for a filling lunch or dinner that highlights classic Greek-inspired flavors.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Prepare the garlic chicken marinade first. In a gallon-sized zip top bag or shallow dish combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper. Add the chicken thighs, close the top of the bag, and massage the ingredients to combine. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dill yogurt sauce. In a small bowl combine the Greek yogurt, dried dill, lemon juice, and salt. Set the sauce aside
Slice the grape tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Place the red onion in a bowl of ice water and let it soak for 5-10 minutes to take the sharp edge off the flavor.
After the chicken has marinated for 30 minutes, cook the chicken thighs in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until well browned and cooked through. Cook the chicken in two batches to prevent over crowding the skillet, which will prevent browning. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
To build the wraps, smear each flat bread with a couple tablespoons of hummus, pile some sliced chicken on top, then top with a handful of tomatoes, cucumbers, and a few slices of onion. Add a few dollops of the dill yogurt sauce, wrap the bread around the filling, and enjoy!
