There are so many great things to love about Greek food. Delicious creamy feta, the perfectly brined kalamata olives, the tangy tzatziki sauce, and of course the hints of lemon, dill, oregano, and yogurt that is found in so many sauces and marinades. I love every single one of these items, so I thought why not combine them all and wrap them up cozy in a delicious pita bread blanket? Enter my quick, easy, and delicious Greek chicken wraps.
At first, I thought I would try to make something like a gyro, but this really went left in the best way possible. I started to add more and more Greek inspired ingredients and viola, my delicious Greek chicken wrap was born. The result was an amazing burst of flavors, textures, and meal that comes together quickly with no fuss.
This Greek chicken wrap has everything you need a from a perfect handheld meal. Vegetables you say? Why yes, we got some lettuce, tomato, peppers, and some red onions. Protein you might ask? Well, duh, the chicken, which is marinated in yogurt and of course you can’t forget the crumbled feta and tzatziki. Carbs and crunch? You won’t believe it, but I added some french fries for some extra crunch and then rolled into the perfect handheld sandwich.
And boom – Greek chicken wraps for the perfect quick weeknight meal, great for a lunch, or heck. if your really hungry and the craving hits, eat it anytime!

Suggested Wine Pairing:
Rose all day. She is a natural for this greek chicken wrap
Tools:
I am grilling my chicken on an indoor grill, but feel free to grill these outside, use a grill pan, or even bake them in the oven. So many options!
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
1 lb of chicken tenders
1/2 cup of yogurt
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 hot chili pepper, minced (optional, you could also use red pepper flakes or omit all together)
1 teaspoon of each oregano, dill, cumin, and salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
For the wrap:
4 large pita bread loaves
6 iceberg lettuce leaves, whole
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup of tzatziki
About 1/2 bag of frozen french fries of your choice
Instructions:
- Start by marinating the chicken in yogurt, lemon, garlic, chili pepper, oil, cumin, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Meanwhile, preheat your grill and oven/air fryer to make the french fries. Start prepping your wrap toppings.
- Make the french fries according to the instructions on the package.
- Grill the chicken tenders for about 5 minutes each side.
- It’s time to wrap it up in the pita! Lay the lettuce down first to make a barrier against the bread and any wet ingredients. Top the lettuce with tomato, red onion, bell pepper, olives, and feta. Top with the chicken strips and a small handful of french fries. Drizzle tzatziki over top and wrap it up like a burrito. Serve with any extra french fries on the side and thank me later!
