Wrapped in warm whole-wheat pita and finished with a sprinkle of feta and olives, this Greek chicken tzatziki wrap is an easy, high-protein lunch or dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

Inspired by the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, this wrap delivers balanced nutrition with lean protein, fiber-rich grains, and plenty of fresh vegetables. It’s a great example of how deliciously satisfying Mediterranean eating can be. And yes, it’s good for your body too—tzatziki is good for your gut, thanks to the live cultures in Greek yogurt, and its ingredients like garlic and cucumber offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits.

Wondering what meat goes well with tzatziki? Chicken is one of the best matches, especially when marinated in lemon, olive oil, and herbs. It’s no surprise that Greeks eat tzatziki with grilled meats like chicken or lamb—making this wrap a tried-and-true pairing.

How To Make A Greek Chicken Tzatziki Wrap

To make Greek chicken wraps with tzatziki, start by marinating the chicken in a light dressing to build flavor while you prepare the other ingredients. For the tzatziki, mix plain yogurt with finely chopped cucumber, fresh dill, a splash of lemon juice, a bit of vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir it all together until smooth, then refrigerate to let the flavors meld.

Next, grill or sear the chicken until it’s cooked through and golden on the outside. Let it rest briefly, then slice it thinly against the grain. Warm your whole-wheat pitas so they’re soft and easy to fold.

To assemble the wraps, layer crisp romaine lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, a few olives, and a sprinkle of feta cheese onto each pita. Add the sliced chicken and finish with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce. Fold up the wraps, serve with extra sauce on the side, and enjoy a satisfying Mediterranean-style meal.
