Tips & Variations
- For a spicy kick, add a drizzle of hot sauce or sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the yogurt sauce.
- Swap the chicken with grilled halloumi or falafel for a vegetarian alternative.
- Use whole wheat or flavored flatbread to add more variety and nutrition to the wrap.
- Prepare the yogurt sauce a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
Storage
Wrap leftover components separately and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flatbread and vegetables are best stored separately to avoid sogginess. Reheat the grilled chicken gently in a skillet or microwave before assembling the wrap.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of grilled skewers?

What can I add to the yogurt sauce for extra flavor?
Minced garlic, chopped fresh mint, cumin, or a touch of smoked paprika can enhance the yogurt sauce nicely.

Description
This Grilled Chicken Flatbread Wrap features tender grilled chicken skewers paired with fresh, crisp veggies like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red cabbage. Topped with a tangy yogurt sauce infused with lemon and olive oil, it’s a flavorful, light, and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Protein and Bread
- Grilled chicken skewers (homemade or store-bought) – 4 skewers
- Flatbread or pita bread – 4 pieces
Fresh Vegetables
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup thick yogurt or Greek yogurt
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus extra for drizzling
Instructions
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a slight char on all sides. The chicken should be cooked through and juicy.
- Warm the Flatbread: While the chicken cooks, warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat, in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or on the grill just until soft and pliable. This will make them easier to fold without cracking.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber thinly, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely shred the red cabbage. Chop the fresh parsley and set everything aside for assembling.
- Make the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the thick or Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt, a drizzle (about 1 tablespoon) of olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice. For added flavor, you can incorporate a small minced garlic clove or sprinkle dried mint if desired, and stir well.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay one warm flatbread on a plate. Spread a generous spoonful of the prepared yogurt sauce evenly over the surface. Layer on a handful of shredded red cabbage, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Add the Chicken: Place one grilled chicken skewer on top of the veggies. Carefully slide the chicken pieces off the skewer onto the flatbread to distribute evenly.
- Finish and Season: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and a little more fresh lemon juice over the filling. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Top with chopped fresh parsley for brightness.
- Serve: Fold or roll the flatbread wrap tightly and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute grilled chicken skewers with rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breast slices.
- Adding minced garlic or dried mint to the yogurt sauce gives an extra flavor boost but can be omitted to keep it simple.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free flatbread if preferred.
- For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce in the yogurt sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored separately and assembled fresh to avoid soggy flatbread.
