Greek Chicken Wrap (healthy lunch!)
This easy Greek Chicken Wrap is the perfect healthy lunch idea! A soft wrap is loaded with grilled chicken, vegetables, hummus, feta and olives!
Chicken Wrap Recipe
There is something so satisfying about a healthy, loaded wrap! Grilled chicken paired with fresh veggies is the perfect balanced, healthy lunch to get you through the day. This is an excellent base recipe, as you can easily customize the ingredients based on your personal preference.
To make things easier, I use bottled salad dressing as a marinade for the grilled chicken. As written below, the total time for this recipe is only about 5 minutes! However, this Greek marinade is amazing if you have a few extra minutes to prep! If you can’t get enough quick lunch recipes, check out this list of 30+ Easy Healthy Wrap Recipes!
Recipe Ingredients
Listed below are the ingredients you need to make this Green Chicken Wrap. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the page to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.
- Cooked chicken breast: we love to utilize leftover or rotisserie chicken
- Tortillas: we used Mission Carb Balance Tortillas which is our recommendation for anyone on a keto or low carb diet.
- Hummus: we prefer classic but sun dried tomato or roasted garlic hummus would be a delicious twist!
- Toppings: Salad Greens, cucumber, roasted red peppers, red onion, green olives, black olives, and feta cheese
How to Make a Chicken Wrap
Aside from the ingredients listed above you will need a knife and cutting board. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make these delicious Greek Chicken Wraps. For the complete instructions including amounts, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the page.
- Grill the chicken (or utilize any leftover chicken you have), chop and prep the veggies. I usually do this all on one cutting board for super easy prep and clean up.
- Spread hummus on your tortilla, top with veggies, grilled chicken, feta and olives!
- Tightly roll the wrap, slice and enjoy!
How can I wrap a carb for meal prep?
For super easy storage and prep, just lay your tortilla on a 12×12 square of wax or parchment paper. It allows you to wrap the tortilla extra tight so it is very secure. You can simply place a piece of tape on the paper and pop it in your lunch box!
Some prefer to eat these wraps cold, but this recipe easily reheats in the microwave. Reheat in 15-second increments until heated to your desired level.
Can I make this low carb?
Yes, this is an easy recipe to adjust for a low carb diet. You will need to use a low carb tortilla, such as Mission Carb Balance. You could also hold the tortillas and use the other ingredients to make a light, healthy chicken salad.
If you are following a keto diet, you will also need to skip the hummus. However, if you are simply following a lower carb diet, such as for a diabetic, the hummus is fine. You can find all the nutritional information including calories, carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sodium in the recipe card below.

I love eating Greek salads too, although I usually only order them when going out to eat (but I do eat salads a lot for my lunches). I love that you made this into a wrap. So versatile and looks delicious!
Thanks Gayle! I love coming up with new ingredients I already have on hand!
Lunch ruts are the worst. Good thing we have wraps to pull us outta those dang ruts! Greek food is my absolute FAV so these wraps are right up my alley, Annie! LOVE all those gorgeous red peppers.
Aren’t the red peppers great! Gosh I could eat them straight from the jar!
I love anything with Greek flavors in it. Great addition with the goat cheese and roasted red peppers. These wraps look fresh and delicious!
Thank you Sherri! I don’t buy goat cheese often, I just don’t think of it, but it was wonderful in these wraps!
Wraps were my staple for a very very long time! Greek spices and flavors are amazing and I am all the red pepper addition. This is a great lunch idea Annie!
Thank you Mary Frances! I love how easy wraps are for lunches or for an effortless dinner!
This looks like such a great recipe to break me out of my lunch rut! Love the flavors of a greek salad!
Me too! It is definitely one of my favorites!
This looks so good! I love Greek salad – I basically love anything that involves feta cheese. It is my favourite food ever.
I am just like you! I LOVE feta, I could (and do!) eat it on everything! 🙂
Love these healthy wraps… feta cheese and roasted peppers are a fantastic addition. . Looks so delicious.. Perfect healthy lunch (actually I can eat this all day long) 😀
I agree! I don’t think I would ever get tired of a flavor combo like this!
Wraps are so delicious, especially for lunch. I need to try this out, feta cheese is soooo good!
I am so glad someone else shares my love of Feta! My husband won’t touch it so anytime I buy it I eat the whole container all by myself!
Love Greek salad and this wrap is a brilliant idea! Perfect for a hot summer lunch 🙂
I agree! It is too hot to turn on the oven! 🙂
That’s such a healthy lunch to have every day — you’re so good! It’s funny how mixing it up just a little bit can change things just enough to make them more special. I would love this wrap! 🙂
You so right Marcie! Sometimes changing things just a tad can make all the difference!
What a great idea for a quick and healthy lunch (or dinner!) A fresh Greek salad has got to be my favourite lunch ever, so I love this simple ‘change-up’ suggestion, Annie. 🙂
Thank you Helen! You can never have too many quick and easy recipes on hand!
Great way to make a salad fun to eat!
think i know what i am making for lunch today.. looks delicious, love a good greek salad. never thought to take the idea and recreate it into a wrap before!
Thank you Thalia! Isn’t it funny how different something is when you just throw it into a wrap!
I’ve never seen these Udi’s tortillas! When I first saw your photo, I thought that they looked so normal that they couldn’t possibly be gf, ha! I gotta go out and find these asap! I get into such a lunch rut sometimes too, what a great idea to put your salad ingredients into a wrap! You really can’t go wrong with a wrap! I’m wishing I had one of these for lunch tomorrow 🙂
Oh man, you have got to try them! Seriosuly! They are so very good! They taste just like regular flour tortillas and they don’t break or fall apart on you. We are kind of obsessed. We can only get them at one grocery in our area (Publix) so I go and buy like 6 packages at a time! ha!
I get in the same rut at lunch – eating the same thing cause it’s easy. Love the idea of wrapping it up in a tortilla to change things up. Pinning! Thanks, Annie, for a great lunch idea.
Aren’t lunch ruts terrible, I am just awful about eating the same thing because I am kind of lazy sometimes. This really did the trick for me though! 🙂
Great recipe, so yummy!! I recently found this on the ‘My fitness pal’ app as the blog of the day. It’s been my dinner for the past two nights 🙂 I’m very new to healthy eating, dieting & counting calories lol. I was wondering if you knew off hand what the calories are in this wrap so I can track it? Up next is your zucchini and hummus wrap!! So excited!!

This looks so good! I usually cook in the morning so my husband can take lunch to work. Do you think this will hold up and still be good after several hours in the office fridge? Thanks!
Hi Gaby! I have taken this to work several times! Just make sure all your ingredients, especially the roasted red peppers are dry before you assemble. I didn’t do that the first time and it was too mushy after sitting for a few hours. Just pat them dry with a paper towel and you will be good to go! 🙂
