Ingredients

• For the Lemon Chicken
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• For the Greek Salad
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
• ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• For Assembly
• 4 large flour tortillas or Greek-style flatbreads
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2: Grill

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 6–7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Toss Salad

In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, sprinkle with oregano, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Warm Tortillas

Warm tortillas or flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 5: Assemble

Lay out each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded romaine, a generous scoop of Greek salad, and top with chopped lemon chicken.

Step 6: Roll

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half if desired.

Step 7: Serve

Serve immediately while warm.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before chopping to ensure the juices stay locked in. Warming the flour tortillas or flatbreads makes them significantly easier to roll without tearing.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a vegetarian version of this wrap, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas. You can also use whole wheat tortillas or gluten-free wraps depending on your dietary needs.

Serviervorschläge

Enhance your wrap by adding a dollop of creamy tzatziki or hummus inside. To complete the meal, pair it with a glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling water with a slice of lemon.

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I prepare the chicken ahead of time?

Yes, you can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. Cook and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, then assemble wraps when ready to eat.

→ What's the best way to warm the tortillas?

Heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable, or microwave between damp paper towels for 20-30 seconds.

→ Can I make these vegetarian?

Absolutely. Substitute grilled or pan-fried tofu, or add more feta and chickpeas for protein. The lemon-oregano marinade works wonderfully with tofu too.

→ How long do assembled wraps keep?

Best enjoyed immediately while warm. If storing, keep components separate and assemble within 24 hours. Pre-made wraps can get soggy from the vegetables.

→ What other cheeses work well?

Feta is traditional, but you could use goat cheese, halloumi, or a Mediterranean herb cheese blend for different flavor profiles.
