Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:
- 1 cup roasted red peppers
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic
- Salt, to taste
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas or flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with this mixture to infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Grill the chicken breasts or cook them in a pan over medium heat for about 5–6 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are fully cooked through.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice the chicken thinly for easy wrapping.
- Make the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce: In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas or flatbreads in a dry pan or microwave so they become pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the roasted red pepper sauce over each warm tortilla.
- Add Fillings: Top the sauce with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, cherry tomato halves, red onion slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Roll and Serve: Roll the wraps tightly to enclose the fillings and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
- If you prefer gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps instead.
- Roasted red peppers can be store-bought or homemade for better flavor.
- Adjust the garlic and spices according to your taste preference.
- Serve with a side of Greek salad or pita chips for a complete meal.
