Greek Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps
These wraps bring together classic Greek flavors: juicy lemon-marinated grilled chicken, warm soft flatbread, crisp veggies, and a creamy, tangy feta sauce infused with garlic and fresh dill. It’s a balance of smoky, zesty, and refreshing in every bite—great for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep.
Ingredients
For the Lemon Chicken Marinade
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 4 thighs)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tbsp dried)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2–4 tbsp water (to thin)
- Black pepper to taste
For the Wrap Assembly
- 4–6 flatbreads or pita breads
- 1 cup chopped lettuce (romaine works well)
- 1 cucumber, sliced or diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional: olives, pickled onions, or hummus
Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken and coat well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Make the Feta Sauce
- In a blender or food processor, combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, dill, and lemon juice.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add water gradually until you reach a creamy, drizzleable consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning (feta is already salty, so go easy on salt).
3. Grill the Chicken
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
4. Warm the Flatbread
- Lightly heat flatbreads on a pan or directly over flame for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the Wraps
- Lay flatbread on a plate.
- Add sliced chicken.
- Top with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
- Drizzle generously with dill garlic feta sauce.
6. Wrap and Serve
- Fold like a wrap or roll into a shawarma-style wrap.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Serving Ideas
