2. Ingredients for the Mediterranean Chicken Wrap Recipe

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing the Mediterranean Chicken Wraps

Prep the Chicken

Start by preheating your grill or grill pan. In a small bowl, mix
olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade evenly over the chicken breasts. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Grill the Chicken

Place the chicken on the hot grill, cooking for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay each wrap flat on a plate. Spread a thin layer of hummus or tzatziki if desired. Distribute the grilled chicken slices evenly across the wraps. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and feta cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.

Wrap and Serve

Roll each wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go. You can secure them with toothpicks or eat as-is. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Mediterranean Chicken Wraps

To keep your wraps fresh, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 24 hours, but you can keep them up to 2 days. For a reheated option, gently warm the wraps in a [Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1](https://amzn.to/4jTwRSW) or on a skillet. Note that the crispy texture may soften upon storage.

Pair these wraps with a side of mixed greens or a light Greek salad. For an extra touch, serve with a refreshing beverage like infused water or a sparkling lemonades. If you’re planning a picnic or outdoor lunch, these wraps are portable and perfect for packing in a [JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set](https://amzn.to/3HIcX05).
