Ingredients
  

  • Chicken: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Spices: Lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt
  • Lemon: 1 large (zest and juice)
  • Olive oil: For marinating and cooking
  • Greek yogurt: 3/4 cup (plain, full-fat or 2%)
  • Fresh herbs: Dill and/or parsley
  • Garlic: 1 small clove, finely grated
  • Honey or maple syrup: 1 teaspoon (optional, for balance)
  • Tortillas or wraps: 4 large flour tortillas or whole-wheat wraps
  • Crisp veggies: Romaine or mixed greens, sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion
  • Extras (optional): Tomato slices, avocado, feta, pickled peppers

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the chicken. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, a pinch of paprika, the zest of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt if your lemon pepper isn’t salted. Toss with the chicken and let it sit 15–30 minutes (or up to 8 hours in the fridge).
  • Make the yogurt sauce. Stir together Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, remaining lemon zest, grated garlic, 1–2 tablespoons chopped dill or parsley, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and honey if using. Taste and adjust. You want bright, tangy, and lightly salty.
  • Cook the chicken. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken 4–6 minutes per side (thighs may take longer) until nicely browned and cooked through. Internal temp should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest and slice. Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly or chop into bite-size pieces. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top for extra pop.
  • Warm the tortillas. Toast tortillas in a dry skillet 15–30 seconds per side until pliable. This prevents cracking and adds flavor.
  • Assemble the wraps. Spread a generous layer of yogurt sauce down the center. Add greens, cucumbers, and onions. Pile on the chicken and any extras like avocado or feta.
  • Roll it up. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if you like.
  • Serve. Add a final sprinkle of lemon pepper or herbs and a wedge of lemon on the side. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
