Ingredients You’ll Need

What makes these Mediterranean Chicken Wraps shine is how each ingredient brings its own character—there’s no filler here, just all flavor. Gather these simple, fresh ingredients and you’ll be amazed by the result. Here’s why each one matters:

Chicken breasts: Grilled or pan-seared, this lean protein turns juicy and flavorful, especially after a quick toss in our lemony marinade.
Flour tortillas or flatbreads: The soft, pliable base that holds everything together—choose your favorite or try whole wheat for extra fiber.
Hummus: A creamy, garlicky spread that adds rich flavor and keeps the wrap moist (plus, who can resist hummus?).
Baby spinach or mixed greens: These give crunch and a fresh pop of color, making every bite feel extra wholesome.
Cucumber (diced): Crisp and cool, cucumber adds a refreshing snap that contrasts perfectly with the warm chicken.
Cherry tomatoes (halved): Sweet and juicy, they brighten up both the taste and the look of your wraps.
Red onion (thinly sliced): Adds a bit of zesty kick and crunch—slice thin for just the right amount of bite.
Kalamata olives (sliced): Their briny, bold flavor brings unmistakable Mediterranean flair.
Feta cheese (crumbled): Creamy, tangy, and wonderfully salty—just a sprinkle really ties it all together.
Olive oil: High-quality extra virgin olive oil forms the base of our chicken marinade and adds beautiful richness.
Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice wakes up the chicken and brings brightness to the whole wrap.
Dried oregano: This humble herb makes the whole dish sing with its earthy, aromatic notes.
Salt and black pepper: Essential for balancing flavors; season to your liking.

How to Make Mediterranean Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Whisk Together the Marinade

In a small bowl, combine your olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Give it a good whisk until everything looks emulsified. This simple marinade is packed with Mediterranean flavor and takes just seconds, but it really transforms the chicken and sets your wraps apart from the average.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Take your sliced, cooked chicken breasts and toss them in the marinade, making sure each piece is coated well. Even a short marinating time works wonders, imbuing every bite with zesty, herby goodness as you assemble your Mediterranean Chicken Wraps.

Step 3: Warm the Wraps

Give your tortillas or flatbreads a quick warm-up—either in the microwave for 15 seconds or in a dry skillet over medium heat—just until they’re soft and pliable. This little step will help keep them from tearing and makes rolling the wraps a breeze.

Step 4: Spread the Hummus

Generously spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of hummus down the center of each wrap. Don’t be shy here—the hummus acts as a creamy anchor and adds that signature Mediterranean flavor in every bite.

Step 5: Layer the Veggies and Chicken

Now comes the fun—layer on the baby spinach (or mixed greens), diced cucumber, cherry tomato halves, red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta. Top with the marinated chicken slices. Each layer brings freshness, crunch, and color, making these Mediterranean Chicken Wraps both beautiful and absolutely delicious.

Step 6: Roll and Serve

Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal for that café vibe, and serve them up while still slightly warm for maximum flavor and comfort!

How to Serve Mediterranean Chicken Wraps

Garnishes

Garnishing adds the finishing touch. I love to sprinkle extra feta over the top or add a few leaves of fresh dill or parsley for color and herbal lift. A light drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of tzatziki can also take Mediterranean Chicken Wraps to the next level—just remember, a little goes a long way.

Side Dishes

Round out your meal with sides that complement Mediterranean flavors. Think a crisp Greek salad, tabbouleh, or a small bowl of marinated olives. Some baked pita chips and a side of extra hummus are always a hit, especially if you’re serving these wraps to friends for lunch or dinner.

Creative Ways to Present

For a party or potluck, slice the wraps into two-inch pinwheels and arrange them on a platter—they look gorgeous and are super easy to grab. If you’re packing them for lunch, wrap each one snugly in parchment paper and add a colorful napkin for a little extra cheer. Mediterranean Chicken Wraps also make great picnic fare—just pack them airtight and you’re ready for an outdoor adventure!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftover Mediterranean Chicken Wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for up to 1 day—just be aware that the veggies will start to soften a bit, but the flavors will be even more melded and delicious.

Freezing

Freezing isn’t ideal for these wraps, as the fresh greens and veggies can lose their crunch when thawed. However, you can freeze the grilled or pan-seared chicken on its own, then assemble fresh wraps when you’re ready to enjoy. This approach gives you a big head start on future Mediterranean Chicken Wraps while keeping everything tasting freshly made.

Reheating

If your wrap has been refrigerated, you can reheat it gently in a sandwich press or warm skillet to refresh the chicken and bread (just skip reheating if there are lots of greens inside—you don’t want soggy spinach!). For best results, remove any cold garnishes and add them back after warming.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut. Just slice or shred it, then proceed with tossing it in the lemony marinade for those authentic Mediterranean Chicken Wraps flavors.

What can I use instead of hummus?

Tzatziki or a light Greek yogurt spread works beautifully as a swap for hummus. Either will give you the creamy base these wraps thrive on and add a different, delicious spin.

Are Mediterranean Chicken Wraps gluten-free?

They can be! Just opt for gluten-free flatbreads or wraps, which are now easy to find in most grocery stores. The rest of the filling is naturally gluten-free.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Definitely. Swap the chicken for grilled halloumi, roasted chickpeas, or falafel for a vegetarian take that’s equally satisfying and keeps the Mediterranean spirit alive.

How do I prevent the wraps from becoming soggy?

Layer the hummus first as a moisture barrier and keep watery veggies like tomatoes and cucumber in the middle, not right against the bread. If making ahead, pack the filling separately and assemble just before eating for the freshest results.

Final Thoughts

I hope you’re as excited about these Mediterranean Chicken Wraps as I am! Every time I make them, I’m reminded how a few great ingredients and a simple recipe can turn lunchtime into something sunny and satisfying. Give them a try—you might just find your new go-to meal!
