Ingredients

• Chicken
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Wrap Components
  • 4 large flatbreads or whole wheat wraps
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz (about 115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce or baby spinach leaves

Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for 15 minutes (or longer if desired).

2. Prepare the tzatziki sauce

While chicken marinates, make the tzatziki: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and refrigerate.

3. Grill the chicken

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest for 3 minutes, then slice thinly.

4. Warm the flatbreads

Warm the flatbreads lightly in a pan or microwave.

5. Assemble the wraps

To assemble each wrap, spread tzatziki over the bread, add lettuce/spinach, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, grilled chicken, and top with crumbled feta.

6. Serve

Fold up the wraps, securing with parchment or foil if needed. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für zusätzlichen Geschmack kann eine Prise Cayennepfeffer zur Hähnchenmarinade hinzugefügt werden. Dies verleiht den Wraps eine angenehme Schärfe und Tiefe.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine vegetarische Variante kann das gegrillte Hähnchen durch gegrillten Halloumi ersetzt werden. So bleibt das Gericht proteinreich und bekommt eine köstliche, herzhafte Note.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Wraps passen hervorragend zu einem kühlen Sauvignon Blanc oder einem leichten Weißwein. Als Beilage empfiehlt sich ein frischer Salat oder knusprige Ofenkartoffeln.
