Ingredient Notes

1 cup plain yogurt works as a creamy base with a tangy flavor; Greek yogurt can be substituted for extra protein. 2 tablespoons olive oil helps in marinating; any light oil can work, but olive adds richness. 1 pound boneless chicken thighs are preferred for tenderness, but breasts can be used. 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley adds freshness; substitute with cilantro or mint if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  4. Step 4: Once cooked, slice the chicken and serve it wrapped in flatbreads with chopped parsley.

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature reaches 165°F. These wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep. When reheating, do so gently in a skillet to maintain the texture. You can also customize by adding your favorite veggies or sauces for extra flavor.
