Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large tortillas or flatbreads

Step-by-Step Directions
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Lay out a tortilla or flatbread and spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture into the center.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, tucking the ends as you go. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a packed lunch.
Make-Ahead / Meal Prep Options
- Prep the chicken-yogurt filling up to 3 days in advance; store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Keep tortillas separate and assemble wraps the day you plan to eat for the best texture, or fully assemble and wrap tightly in foil for up to 24 hours.
- Pre-chopped veggies will speed assembly — store them in a sealed container with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
What to Serve With Yogurt Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
- Simple mixed green salad or Greek salad
- Lemon-herb rice or quinoa
- Roasted or grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers)
- Crispy baked pita chips or a side of hummus
- Cold or sparkling lemon water, iced tea, or a light white wine
- Fresh fruit or baklava for dessert

Variations & Substitutions for Yogurt Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
Protein swaps:
- Use shredded turkey, sliced grilled steak, or flaked salmon.
- For vegetarian/vegan: swap chicken for roasted chickpeas, marinated tofu, or grilled tempeh.
Extra veggies:
- Add shredded lettuce, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, or shredded carrots for more crunch and color.
Spice / sweetness changes:
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for heat; stir in a teaspoon of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Dietary swaps (GF, DF, vegan, etc.):
- Gluten-free: use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
- Dairy-free/vegan: replace yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt and swap feta for a vegan crumbly cheese or omit.
Flavor twists / toppings:
- Add a smear of tzatziki or a drizzle of balsamic glaze, fresh dill, chopped mint, or toasted pine nuts for extra texture.
How to Store, Freeze & Reheat Yogurt Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
- Fridge: Store filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assembled wraps keep best for 24 hours when wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
- Freezer: Assembled yogurt-based wraps don’t freeze well (yogurt can separate). You can freeze the cooked chicken (plain or with dry seasonings) for up to 3 months; thaw before mixing with yogurt and assembling.
- Reheating: If the wrap contains fully cooked chicken and you prefer it warm, unwrap and heat the filling briefly in a skillet until warm, then assemble. For whole assembled wraps, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes wrapped in foil, or unwrap and toast in a skillet for a crisp exterior.
Expert Tips for Yogurt Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
- Use plain full-fat or Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture; thin with a teaspoon of water if too thick.
- Rotisserie chicken is the easiest shortcut—shred while still slightly warm for better flavor absorption.
- Dice veggies uniformly for even bites and easier rolling.
- Don’t overfill the tortilla; leave space at the edges for neat rolling.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving to brighten the flavors.
Yogurt Mediterranean Chicken Wraps FAQs
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Yes — substitute plain dairy-free yogurt and omit or replace feta with a vegan alternative.
Q: Will the filling get soggy if packed for lunch?
A: The yogurt dressing can soften tortillas over time. Pack filling separately and assemble just before eating for best texture, or use a sturdier flatbread.
Q: Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried oregano?
A: Absolutely — 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, dill, or mint works well and adds brightness.
Q: How spicy are these by default?
A: Mild. Add crushed red pepper, cayenne, or a spicy sauce to increase heat.
