Greek Lemon Chicken Pita Wraps with Dill Feta Sauce
These Greek Lemon Chicken Pita Wraps are packed with fresh Mediterranean flavours and are perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying evening meal. Tender chicken is marinated with lemon, garlic and oregano before being cooked until golden, then tucked into warm pita breads with crisp salad and finished with a creamy dill and feta sauce. The result is a fresh, hearty wrap that’s simple to prepare yet full of flavour.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Feta Sauce
- ¾ cup feta cheese
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- A splash of lemon juice
For Serving
- 4 pita breads
- Lettuce
- Sliced cucumber
- Tomato
- Red onion
Method
- Combine the chicken with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and black pepper. Mix well so the chicken is evenly coated, then leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on the outside and fully cooked through.
- Meanwhile, blend the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh dill and a splash of lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Wraps
- Warm the pita breads until soft and pliable.
- Fill each pita with lettuce, sliced cucumber, tomato and red onion.
- Add the cooked chicken.
- Generously drizzle over the dill garlic feta sauce.
- Fold the pita and serve immediately while the chicken is warm.
Tips
- Allowing the chicken to marinate for the full 20 minutes helps the lemon, garlic and oregano flavour the meat evenly.
- Cook the chicken until lightly browned for the best flavour while ensuring it is fully cooked before serving.
- Warm pita breads are easier to fold and less likely to split when filled.
Serving and Storage
These wraps are best enjoyed straight after assembling, while the chicken is hot and the pita is warm. If preparing ahead, keep the chicken, vegetables and feta sauce separate and assemble just before serving to maintain the best texture.
