• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Wraps

• ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Greek Lemon Chicken Pita Wraps

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have extra time, an hour makes the flavor even better.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and beautifully golden. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3: Make the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce

Blend together the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 4: Warm the Pita Bread

Warm each pita for about 20–30 seconds in a skillet or microwave. Soft pita is much easier to fold without tearing.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Spread a generous layer of dill garlic feta sauce over the pita. Add lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, sliced chicken, and another drizzle of the creamy sauce. Fold the pita tightly and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Greek Chicken Wraps

• Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor.
• Fresh lemon juice makes a noticeable difference.
• Fresh dill gives the sauce its authentic Mediterranean taste.
• Don’t overcook the chicken or it may become dry.
• Warm pita bread before assembling the wraps.
• Add olives, roasted red peppers, or avocado for extra flavor.
