Quick Greek Chicken Wraps with Creamy Garlic Sauce Tips, FAQ & printable recipe

Tips for success

To add extra flavor, consider letting the yogurt sauce sit for thirty minutes in the refrigerator before serving. The resting time softens the sharp bite of raw garlic and allows the flavors to meld thoroughly. If you enjoy a bit of extra brightness, an extra slice of raw red onion adds a sharp crunch that contrasts nicely with the creamy sauce.

If you are planning to serve these at a gathering, set up a build-your-own station with the components laid out in separate bowls.

This allows guests to customize their wraps with their preferred amount of sauce and vegetables, ensuring everyone gets exactly what they like. It also prevents the flatbreads from getting soggy if the wraps are not consumed immediately after assembly.

Variations

• Extra Garlic Wrap: Increase the garlic in the yogurt sauce to four cloves for an extra punchy, robust flavor that cuts through the rich chicken.
• Loaded Tomato Wrap: Double the quantity of diced tomatoes and lightly drain them to add extra juicy sweetness to the interior of each flatbread.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge

Keep all components in sealed containers for up to 3 days. Do not store already-assembled wraps, as they will become soggy.

Reheat

Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Do not reheat the yogurt sauce; serve it chilled or at room temperature.

Store leftover chicken and the garlic yogurt sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Keeping the components separate prevents the chicken from drying out and the sauce from losing its texture.

If the chicken is already inside a wrap, it is best consumed within a few hours, as the bread will absorb moisture and lose its integrity over time.

The garlic yogurt sauce can be made up to twenty-four hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator, which actually allows the flavors to meld and intensify.

The chicken can also be sliced and kept in the refrigerator for up to four hours before cooking. However, for the best results, cook the chicken fresh right before you intend to assemble and serve the wraps.

Serving ideas

Serve these wraps immediately while the chicken is still warm and the flatbread is soft. Pair them with a side of fresh cucumber salad or a simple crisp vegetable salad to complete the meal.

The cool, crisp vegetables offer a refreshing contrast to the savory, spiced chicken, making for a balanced and satisfying dining experience that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

If you have extra sauce, serve it on the side for dipping. Many guests appreciate the extra creaminess it provides, especially when paired with a few extra pieces of fresh vegetable or warm flatbread wedges. The versatility of the sauce makes it a welcome addition to the table, and having extra on hand ensures that every bite is as flavorful as the first.

Quick Greek Chicken Wraps with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Prep 10 minCook 15 minRest 5 minTotal 30 minServes 2

Ingredients

• 1 lb spiced chicken, cut into strips
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 flatbread wraps
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup red onion, sliced

Instructions

1. Combine the plain Greek yogurt and minced garlic in a small bowl, stirring until smooth, then set aside in the refrigerator. Slice the spiced chicken into uniform strips for even pan cooking. Ensure the raw chicken is kept chilled until just before it hits the hot cooking surface to maintain food safety standards.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spiced chicken strips in a single layer, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Sear the chicken until charred and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for at least five minutes before assembling the wraps to ensure tenderness.
3. Lay the flatbread wraps on a clean surface or plate. Spread a generous spoonful of the prepared garlic yogurt sauce down the center of each. Top with the warm cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Roll the flatbread wraps tightly around the filling, and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
