Ingredient Notes
All other ingredients and measurements can be found in the recipe card towards the bottom of this post.
- Marinated Chicken. Marinate chicken breasts and/or thighs. I use lemon juice, olive oil, seasonings (in the recipe card below). You can cut the time in half for this recipe and use rotisserie chicken instead if desired.

- Feta. Goat cheese will also work.
- Veggies. Onions, peppers, shredded romaine, cucumber, tomatoes. You cal add zucchini or mushrooms in addition if desired.
- Olives. I use green olives and kalamata olives. Any olice of choice will work. You can sub pickles if desired.

Steps To Make This Recipe
Ready to start cooking? Great! Grab your knife, bowls and a skillet and let’s get these Mediterranean Chicken Wraps made.
Step One. Marinate the chicken for as long as you can(20 minutes to a few hours)! Then cook it up in a skillet on medium high heat (photo 1).
Step Two. Once the chicken is cooked through, set it aside on a plate to rest, add the sliced peppers and onions to the same skillet (photo 2) .
Step Three. Let the veggies cook down well. Meanwhile gather all the add ins and get them ready to build these wraps (photo 3).
Step Four. You can either toast the wrap/tortilla before or after its stuffed full. I prefer it both ways, do whatever you feel comfortable.
Store the leftovers or additional wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days! Or you can freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 2 months.
Recipe Pairings
These wraps are a great meal on their own! but if you want to bulk up the meal try thee great pairings below.
- Pair it with a side. Roasted Corn Salad, Crispy Fries, Parmesan Crusted Potatoes or Corn Casserole would be yummy with these wraps!
- Serve an appetizer salad. I love to serve Lemon Kale Caesar with this wraps as an appetizer. Parmesan Crusted Brussel Sprouts would also work well.
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcook the chicken. Be sure to check the internal temp gets to 165º F. Use chicken thighs for the ultimate juice chicken.
- Marinate chicken if you have time. If you have some extra time, I highly recommend you marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
- Cut back on time. Use rotisserie chicken and preprepared hummus to cut down half the time.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! Skip the chicken and make these wraps vegetarian.
Sliced beef, gyro, shrimp or white fish would also work great with these flavors and marinating sauce.

Instructions
Marinated Chicken
- If you are using rotisserie chicken, skip this step. In a large bowl, slice breasts in half and add all the marinade ingredients. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes (if you have the time). In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil on medium/high head. Add the marinated chicken.
- Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side. I like to flip it a few times throughout the cooking process. Cook until the internal temp reaches 165ºF. Once chicken is cooked through, transfer to a plate and add peppers and onions to the same skillet.
Sautéed Peppers and Onions
- Add Peppers and onions to the same skillet chicken was in, or use a fresh skillet. Add 1 tsp of oil and sauté them down until sweating and soft (about 5 minutes). Season with a pinch of salt.
Mediterranean Wraps
- Assemble the wraps! I toast my tortillas for 45 seconds on the stove, this is optional. Start with spreading the hummus and then add all the toppings to the wrap. Fold the bottom up halfway, fold in the sides and poke with a toothpick to keep it closed.
- Serve with sriracha and extra hummus is desired. Enjoy!
Notes
