Sheet Pan Chicken Tzatziki Wraps
Description
This recipe features thinly sliced chicken breast marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, which is roasted on a sheet pan with sliced bell peppers and zucchini. The roasting quickly cooks the chicken and veggies while allowing the flavors to meld. The cucumber-based tzatziki sauce adds a tangy, creamy element made with grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and optional feta cheese. The cold sauce contrasts the warm, roasted chicken and vegetables in the wrap.
Served in naan or other flatbread, the wraps include simple fresh vegetables such as red onion, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and lettuce greens for crunch and color. This assembly offers a casual, handheld meal showcasing Mediterranean flavors without complicated steps.
Vegetables can be swapped as desired to customize the wraps. Broiling instead of roasting can deepen browning for more caramelized flavor but requires close attention. The flatbread choice can vary; homemade or store-bought options work well. The marinated chicken can rest in the fridge from 30 minutes up to four hours before cooking to intensify taste.
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon garlic about 2 medium cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon salt I use coarse, kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ to 2 to 2 pounds chicken breast cut into thin slices
Vegetables:
- 2 bell pepper any color, cored and sliced thinly
- 1 zucchini sliced into strips (no need to peel, medium
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tzatziki:
- ½ to 1 to 1 cup cucumber English, grated
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ cup feta cheese optional, but super tasty, crumbled
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Extras:
- Naan flatbread, or other wrap bread
- red onion thinly sliced
- cucumber diced
- tomato chopped
- spring mix lettuce or other lettuce
Instructions
- For the chicken and marinade, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Place the chicken strips in a shallow dish or ziploc bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, toss to combine, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
- For the tzatziki sauce, squeeze excess liquid from the cucumber (can use a kitchen towel or lightly wring out with hands). Combine the cucumber with the remaining tzatziki ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a half sheet plan and place the chicken pieces on the pan in a single layer (leave excess marinade in dish or bag).
- On a second sheet pan, toss the bell peppers and zucchini with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
- Place both sheet pans in the oven on separate racks and cook for 5-6 minutes. Rotate sheet pans. (At this point, if there is a lot of liquid on the chicken sheet pan, drain it off). Continue cooking until the chicken and veggies are tender (they may finish cooking at different times so watch closely).
- Serve the chicken and veggies on flatbread with tzatziki sauce and other toppings.
Notes
- Feel free to swap zucchini and bell peppers with other preferred vegetables for roasting.
- For more caramelization on chicken or vegetables, cook on broil but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Using quality naan or homemade flatbread enhances the wrap texture and taste.
