Crispy Greek Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce Tips, FAQ & printable recipe

Tips for success

For the best texture, always serve these wraps immediately after assembly. If you find the flatbread is too stiff to roll, briefly warming it in a microwave for a few seconds or in a dry pan will make it much more pliable.

Adding a small amount of fresh herbs like parsley or dill to your garlic yogurt sauce can provide an extra layer of freshness that complements the savory chicken perfectly.

If you want to add a bit of crunch, you can include thinly sliced cucumbers or red onions in your vegetable mix. Ensure that these ingredients are sliced as thinly as possible so they do not interfere with the rolling process.

Remember that the goal is to create a balanced bite, so avoid using overly wet ingredients that might compromise the crispness of the flatbread during the final toasting phase.

Variations

• Spicy Greek Wrap: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the garlic yogurt sauce for a spicy kick that cuts through the richness of the chicken.
• Mediterranean Veggie Wrap: Incorporate kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese into the filling for an extra burst of salty, briny flavor that pairs perfectly with the cool yogurt sauce.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge

Keep all components in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat

Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through; do not freeze the assembled wraps.

Store any leftover chicken and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The garlic yogurt sauce should also be kept in a sealed container.

Keeping the components separate prevents the vegetables from wilting and the flatbread from becoming soggy. When stored properly, the chicken and vegetables will remain fresh for up to two days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.

You can prepare the garlic yogurt sauce and dice the vegetables up to one day in advance. Keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook the chicken. The chicken is best cooked fresh, but you can also cook it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, reheating it briefly in a pan before assembling the wraps to ensure it is warm and flavorful.

Serving ideas

Serve these wraps on a platter with extra garlic yogurt sauce on the side for dipping. They pair well with a simple side salad or some lightly salted pita chips. Because these are a complete meal in themselves, they are perfect for a casual dinner where you want something satisfying that comes together quickly without too much fuss or cleanup.

When presenting the wraps, cutting them diagonally in half reveals the beautiful layers of chicken and vegetables, making for an attractive presentation.

Arrange them neatly on a dark platter to emphasize the colors of the fresh ingredients. Ensure that each serving is accompanied by a napkin, as the sauce can be quite generous and the wraps are best enjoyed while warm and slightly crisp.

Crispy Greek Chicken Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Prep 15 minCook 10 minRest 5 minTotal 30 minServes 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast strips
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups diced mixed vegetables
• 4 large flatbreads

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and minced garlic to create the base. Stir well to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt. Set this sauce aside to allow the flavors to meld. Meanwhile, wash and dice the mixed vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are dry to keep the wraps from becoming soggy.
2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast strips in a single layer, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded. Cook the chicken until golden brown char marks appear on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a clean cutting board for five minutes before assembling the wraps.
3. Lay each flatbread on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the garlic yogurt sauce down the center of each wrap. Top with the rested chicken strips and the prepared diced vegetables. Roll the flatbreads tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling. For a final touch, you can lightly toast the assembled wraps in the skillet until the exterior is crisp.
