I stumbled upon this chicken wrap recipe during a weeknight dinner rush when I wanted something healthy but easy. It’s now a family favorite, with everyone eagerly customizing their wraps as they please. Best part? It’s completely versatile, making it a regular in our kitchen rotation. Let me walk you through how to make these delicious wraps step by step!
🌿 My first bite of Mediterranean chicken wraps (and how it became a favorite)
It was one of those busy mid-week evenings when I had chicken breast, tortillas, and some random veggies sitting in my fridge. Not exactly an inspiring setup, but I was determined to create something tasty without heading out for groceries. I knew I wanted something flavorful but also healthy. That’s when it hit me—why not throw together a quick Mediterranean-style wrap with the ingredients on hand?
I had hummus (always), some leftover yogurt, and dried herbs. With a dash of inspiration, I quickly marinated the chicken, tossed it in the pan, and while it cooked, whipped up a simple garlicky yogurt sauce. It was like creating a little Mediterranean street-food vibe right in my own kitchen. The final result was so good that I remember immediately texting a friend about it—“You HAVE to try this!”—and, well, now it’s your turn!
Mediterranean roots with a modern twist
These wraps draw on classic Mediterranean elements: tender, spiced chicken, a refreshing yogurt-based sauce, and crunchy veggies. Mediterranean cuisine is celebrated for its use of fresh ingredients, wholesome grains, and health-boosting fats (hello, olive oil!). It’s a food culture that’s evolved through centuries but always emphasizes balance, flavor, and vibrancy. What’s special about these wraps is their ability to capture those same traditional flavors in a quick, weeknight-friendly recipe. Perfect for when you want Mediterranean, but fast!
Let’s talk ingredients: the essentials and some fun swaps
Chicken breast: Lean, protein-packed chicken breast is the star of this recipe. It cooks quickly and absorbs the herbs and spices beautifully. You can swap for chicken thighs if you prefer something juicier, or even try turkey breast for a lighter version.
Garlic: Don’t hold back on the garlic here—it’s the foundation of flavor for both the chicken and the yogurt sauce. If you’re not a huge fan, feel free to reduce the amount slightly, but for me, more garlic is always better.
Yogurt: Plain, unsweetened yogurt helps create that creamy, tangy sauce that ties the wrap together. If you need a dairy-free option, try coconut or almond yogurt, though keep in mind it may alter the flavor slightly.
Dried mint and dill: These herbs give the chicken and sauce a signature Mediterranean touch. Dried herbs work great for convenience, but if you have fresh mint or dill, they’ll brighten up the dish even more. A squeeze of lemon in the yogurt sauce is also a nice addition if you have it on hand.
Cabbage and salad veggies: I used chopped cabbage for that satisfying crunch, but feel free to mix in other greens like lettuce or even arugula. You can keep the “everyday salad” part super flexible—use whatever veggies you love or have around. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers all work great here.
Tortillas: Soft tortillas are the perfect wrap vehicle, but if you want to get more authentic, try using pita bread instead. Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas also work if you’re going for a healthier or allergen-friendly option.

Kitchen gear you’ll need (and some creative alternatives)
You don’t need anything fancy to whip up these Mediterranean chicken wraps. Here’s what will make things easier:
- Non-stick pan: Essential for getting that golden brown color on the chicken without it sticking. If you don’t have one, any skillet will work—just add a touch more oil to prevent sticking.
- Sharp knife and cutting board: For chopping up your veggies and chicken. It’s always easier (and safer) to prep with a sharp knife.
- Small bowl: For mixing up the yogurt sauce. If you’re in a real hurry, you could even mix it right in the yogurt container (we’ve all been there, right?).
- Tongs or spatula: Makes stirring the chicken around in the pan easier and helps ensure even cooking.
Don’t have all of these? Improvise! Use what you have on hand, and it’ll still turn out delicious.
Step-by-step: How to make Mediterranean chicken wraps
Ready to start cooking? Let’s break it down step by step.
1. Prep the salad and yogurt sauce
First up, chop your veggies for the salad. I like to keep it simple with cabbage or a mix of everyday salad greens. If you’re in a creative mood, throw in some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
Now, for the garlicky yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with one minced garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and your dried or fresh dill. Stir until smooth and creamy. Pro tip: You can make this ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge—the flavors only get better!
2. Cook the chicken
Chop your chicken into bite-sized pieces and heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken along with two cloves of minced garlic, chili flakes, black pepper, and dried mint. Stir it all together to make sure the chicken is well-coated with those spices.
Let the chicken cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s done when the pieces are golden brown and fully cooked through. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan. If you’re cooking a larger batch, do it in two rounds so the chicken gets a nice sear.
3. Assemble the wraps
Here’s the fun part! Grab your tortilla and start layering. Spread a spoonful of hummus in the center, followed by some chopped cabbage (or salad greens). Add a generous scoop of the cooked chicken, a few pieces of cooked broccoli (if you’re using it), and a drizzle of that creamy yogurt sauce.
Now, fold in the sides and roll it up like a burrito. The goal is to keep all those yummy ingredients tucked inside without making too much of a mess (though if it gets messy, that’s just part of the fun!).
4. Enjoy!
You can serve these wraps warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They’re also a great meal prep option—just keep the fillings and tortillas separate and assemble when you’re ready to eat.

Variations and twists to try
One of the best things about these wraps is how adaptable they are. Here are a few ways you can switch things up:
- Vegetarian version: Swap the chicken for grilled halloumi, falafel, or roasted veggies like eggplant and zucchini.
- Vegan option: Use a plant-based yogurt for the sauce and load up on hummus and veggies.
- Low-carb wrap: Skip the tortilla and serve everything over a bed of mixed greens for a Mediterranean-style salad bowl.
- Spicy kick: Add a spoonful of harissa or sriracha to your wrap for some heat.
- Seasonal twist: Incorporate roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash during the fall for an extra layer of flavor and heartiness.
Serving ideas (and a little bit of flair)
To make these wraps even more appealing, serve them with a side of extra veggies or a handful of your favorite Mediterranean-inspired snacks like olives, feta cheese, or pickled veggies. For a little extra crunch, add some pita chips or toasted flatbread on the side. If you’re hosting, set up a little DIY wrap station where guests can build their own—always a hit at casual gatherings.
Drinks that complement the meal
For drinks, a refreshing option like iced tea with mint or a crisp glass of white wine works wonderfully with these wraps. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more fun, a sparkling water with a splash of lemon or a light rosé pairs perfectly with the Mediterranean flavors.
Storing and reheating tips
Got leftovers? No problem! Store the chicken, salad, and yogurt sauce in separate containers in the fridge. The chicken will keep for up to 3 days, and the yogurt sauce for about 5. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply warm up the chicken in a pan or microwave, then assemble your wrap. To prevent sogginess, only add the yogurt sauce right before eating.
Adjusting for different serving sizes
This recipe makes about 3-4 wraps, depending on how generously you fill them. If you’re cooking for a crowd, you can easily double the chicken and salad ingredients. Just remember to cook the chicken in batches so it doesn’t overcrowd the pan and lose its crispy edges. If you’re making less, the yogurt sauce can easily be halved (or make the full amount and save the extra for another meal).
Troubleshooting: A few tips to avoid common issues
- Dry chicken: If your chicken turns out a bit dry, try lowering the heat and cooking it a bit slower next time. You can also marinate the chicken in the yogurt sauce for an hour before cooking for extra tenderness.
- Soggy wrap: To avoid a soggy wrap, be sure to let the chicken cool slightly before assembling and don’t overload it with sauce.
- Torn tortillas: If your tortillas keep tearing, try warming them slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
