Directions to Follow
Prepare the Chicken: Start by rubbing the chicken breasts with olive oil, Greek seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Once done, let it cool slightly before slicing it into strips.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each flatbread or pita. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce across the flatbread. Next, top it with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh spinach or lettuce.
Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the flatbread inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form your wrap.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to savor the freshest flavors!
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These Savory Greek-Style Chicken Wraps are delightful on their own, but adding a side of Greek-style roasted potatoes or a simple salad can elevate your meal. Consider pairing them with a glass of chilled white wine, or serve them at a get-together as a refreshing appetizer. You could even slice them into pinwheels for fun finger foods at a party!
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
If you have extras, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For optimal flavor, consume them within a couple of days. You can reheat the chicken in a skillet or microwave, but be sure to add fresh tzatziki and veggies afterward to maintain that crispness. Unfortunately, freezing isn’t ideal for this wrap, as the ingredients don’t hold up well after thawing.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to get a nice sear, locking in the juices.
- Customize your tzatziki sauce with more garlic or herbs to suit your taste—homemade is often best!
- If you’re short on time, grill or pan-sear the chicken ahead of time and reheat it during assembly for a quicker meal.
Creative Twists
Feel free to get adventurous with your wraps! You could swap out the chicken for grilled shrimp or a vegetarian option like falafel. For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. You can also incorporate different flatbreads such as whole wheat or gluten-free options.
