- 1 small garlic clove minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Prepare the Chicken
Place sliced chicken in a large bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss everything well until the chicken is evenly coated. Let it rest for ten minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Prepare the Fresh Vegetables
Make the Creamy Sauce
Add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic and oregano to a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and add a little salt if needed. Keep it chilled until the pita wraps are ready.
Build the Pita Filling
Place one warm pita on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy sauce across the center. Add lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion and warm chicken. Sprinkle feta cheese and parsley over the filling.
- Slice chicken evenly so every piece cooks at the same speed.
- Do not overcook the chicken, because it can become dry.
- Warm pita gently to keep it soft and flexible.
- Add sliced avocado for a creamy texture.
- Use grilled beef instead of chicken for a richer wrap.
- Add roasted peppers for extra sweetness.
- Replace feta with shredded mozzarella if preferred.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Use hummus instead of the yogurt sauce for another delicious option.
