Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large pita breads or lavash wraps
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup prepared hummus
  • For Tzatziki: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • For Tzatziki: 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • For Tzatziki: 1 clove garlic, minced
  • For Tzatziki: 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
  • For Tzatziki: 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken marinade: In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Make the tzatziki sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, and salt. Stir until mixed.
  4. Warm the wraps: Lightly warm the pita breads or lavash wraps in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm wrap flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus down the center.
  6. Layer the fillings: Top the hummus with a portion of the cooked chicken, diced tomato, diced cucumber, olives, and feta cheese.
  7. Add sauce: Drizzle a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the fillings.
  8. Wrap tightly: Fold in the sides of the wrap first, then roll tightly from the bottom up to create a secure Mediterranean wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian Mediterranean wrap, substitute the chicken with 1 can (15 ounces) of chickpeas, rinsed and drained, tossed with the same spices and lightly pan-fried.
  • You can prepare the tzatziki sauce up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use good quality, thick pita bread for the best results when assembling your wrap.
