Flavor-Packed Mediterranean Chicken Wraps You’ll Make Again And Again

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap is more than just a meal it’s a celebration of fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and comforting tradition. The first time I made this wrap, it instantly brought back memories of my grandmother’s warm kitchen, where lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil were always in arm’s reach. Back then, she grilled chicken over an open flame while I helped crumble feta and chop cucumbers. That flavor bright, herby, and deeply satisfying became the inspiration behind this recipe.

Today, I’ve adapted that experience into something quick, healthy, and modern: tender grilled chicken marinated in lemon and herbs, wrapped with creamy hummus, fresh vegetables, and tangy feta all inside a soft tortilla. Whether you’re prepping lunch or planning a light dinner, this wrap is full of Mediterranean soul and weekday practicality.

Let’s get started on making your new favorite wrap.

The Story Behind the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap

The Roots of the Recipe

My version of the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap starts with my family’s Greek marinade a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, garlic, and a hint of honey. I use it for the chicken in my Greek Chicken Lemon Feta Wrap too. This marinade not only tenderizes the chicken but gives it that signature tang and depth found in traditional Greek cooking. It’s the same one we use for our Grilled Chicken Wrap with Greek Marinade, a recipe inspired by summers in Crete.

Why It’s a Weeknight Favorite
What makes this wrap special isn’t just the flavors it’s how quick it comes together. Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prepping, it shares similarities with our Healthy Wraps: Chicken & Veggie Lettuce Wraps, which are also easy, healthy, and versatile. Plus, it’s a wrap meaning minimal cleanup, no fork or knife required, and it’s highly portable.

Building the Perfect Mediterranean Wrap

Choosing the Right Ingredients
Start with quality. Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts both work great. Marinate them in a Greek-style mix, as seen in our Mediterranean Lemon Chicken Pita for at least 30 minutes. The marinade infuses flavor deep into the meat and keeps it juicy on the grill.

Complement your protein with:

• Hummus (for creaminess)
• Diced cucumbers and cherry tomatoes (for crunch)
• Sliced red onions
• Kalamata olives
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh parsley or mint
• A drizzle of tzatziki or tahini

Assembling It All
Choose a soft wrap: whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free work well. Spread hummus evenly over the surface, layer in grilled chicken slices, add your veggies and toppings, then roll it up tightly. If you’re a fan of grilled chicken hummus pita wraps, this version takes it a notch further with balanced textures and flavors.

The Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap isn’t just delicious it’s one of the healthiest wrap options out there. It combines lean protein, fresh vegetables, and heart-healthy fats from olive oil and hummus.

A single serving delivers everything your body needs:

Mediterranean Diet Approved

If you’re following a Mediterranean diet, this wrap fits right in. The grilled chicken is seasoned using traditional herbs and olive oil key staples in Mediterranean cooking. It’s even better than your average chicken wrap with hummus and veggies because the ingredients support anti-inflammatory benefits and heart health.

So yes grilled chicken is more than okay for the Mediterranean diet. It’s encouraged, especially when paired with fiber-rich and antioxidant-filled veggies.

How to Master Flavor & Meal Prep with Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wraps

The Secret’s in the Marinade

For a truly standout Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap, flavor starts long before grilling. The marinade is where magic happens. Inspired by our Grilled Chicken Wrap with Greek Marinade, this combo of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and oregano breaks down the chicken’s fibers, keeping it tender and juicy.

Here’s the perfect Mediterranean marinade formula:

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• Optional: 1 teaspoon honey for balance

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes (2–4 hours for best results). Grill over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F. This technique also works great for wraps like the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, where chicken texture makes all the difference.

Make-Ahead Friendly for Busy Days

One reason this wrap is a star in my kitchen is how well it fits into weekly meal prep. Much like our Meal Prep Grilled Chicken Wraps, it’s quick to assemble and holds up beautifully in the fridge.

Here’s a simple prep plan:

Ingredient	Prep in Advance	How to Store
Grilled Chicken	✔️	Slice and refrigerate up to 4 days
Hummus	✔️	Store in an airtight container
Chopped Veggies	✔️	Keep dry in sealed bags or jars
Tortillas	✔️	Wrap in foil or store in zip bags

Creative Twists & Customization for Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wraps

Flavor Variations to Keep It Fresh

One of the best things about a Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Wrap is how versatile it is. By switching up a few ingredients, you can enjoy a whole new experience without losing that beloved Mediterranean flair.

Here are a few of my favorite twists:

• Roasted Veggie Upgrade: Add grilled zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers for a smoky punch, just like in our Grilled Chicken Wrap with Roasted Veggies.
• Add a Sauce Drizzle: Swap the hummus for tzatziki, baba ganoush, or red pepper spread for a new creamy element.
• Herb Explosion: Toss in chopped fresh basil, dill, or mint for extra freshness these herbs pair perfectly with lemon-marinated chicken.

This wrap also works beautifully with our BBQ Ranch Chicken Wrap method just add a smoky grilled finish and serve with a yogurt-ranch twist for something new.

Make It Vegetarian or Low-Carb

Want to keep things lighter or meat-free? No problem.

• Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with grilled halloumi, falafel, or chickpeas. These swaps give you satisfying texture and plant-based protein. Try the veggie-forward format seen in our Healthy Chicken & Veggie Lettuce Wraps, but adapted to a Mediterranean flavor profile.
• Low-Carb or Gluten-Free: Use lettuce wraps or almond flour tortillas. Our readers love the low-carb chicken lettuce wraps for their flexibility. Just reduce the starchy wrap and load up on protein and veggies.

These options make it easier to tailor your wrap to your needs whether you’re watching carbs or simply craving something new.
