Grilled lemon chicken flatbread wraps are a favorite healthy lunch or light dinner option prepared with lots of bright flavor. Made with simple and delicious ingredients, these savory sandwich wraps feature tender and juicy lemon chicken and a mildly spicy, utterly addicting garlic sauce!
Sandwich Wraps all wrapped up with Grilled Lemon Chicken and a Spicy Garlic Sauce
The sound and aroma of skewers of tender chunks of spice-marinated chicken sizzling away on a grill gets me hungry!
Because I'm a huge fan of sandwich wraps, I love that delicious grilled chicken tucked into a flatbread wrap with lots of bright flavor, cool greens and juicy slices of fresh tomato, all folded up together with a creamy and crave-worthy sauce.
Many little cafes and coffee houses offer healthy sandwich wraps on their menus, and often they're quite tasty, but sometimes I feel like they don't quite pack enough of the flavors that I personally crave in a grilled chicken wrap.
So, me being me, I decided to consult my own tastebuds to come up with my personal take on what I consider to be the best chicken wrap!
My grilled lemon chicken flatbread wrap recipe is filled with juicy lemon chicken that's been sprinkled with some Middle Eastern spices to give it kick. But the most irresistible part? My mildly spicy garlic sauce!
The combo of ingredients in my garlic sauce has that wonderful “umami” flavor, that something indescribably savory and unique that keeps me craving bite after bite.
Quick to grill and put together, these juicy chicken wraps are the perfect meal to whip up when your own tastebuds are craving the flavors of lemon chicken and a spicy garlic sauce!
How to Make the Best Lemon Chicken Sandwich Wraps
To create a truly mouthwatering grilled lemon chicken sandwich wrap, being generous with the spices and seasonings is a great place to start. Adding lots of lemony brightness and that hint of tang from fresh lemon juice and zest is another huge pop of flavor, of course!
I typically allow the skewered chunks of chicken breast to marinate in some olive oil, fresh garlic and warm spices—cumin, coriander, oregano and paprika—for about 20 minutes. Then, I grill 'em up!
And that awesome garlic sauce that takes these wraps over the top? It's super quick and easy to whisk up in a bowl with a bit of mayo, sour cream, garlic, tahini, sriracha and a pinch of cayenne. You can make it more or less spicy—you decide!
Here's a little sneak peek at my grilled lemon chicken flatbread wraps recipe: (or just jump to the full recipe)
- To create that deliciously flavorful lemon chicken, I get things started by seasoning the chicken breast pieces with the lemon, garlic and spices, then skewer them and allow them to marinate for at least 20 minutes. (This can even be done overnight for extra flavor!)
- While the chicken marinates, I prep my spicy garlic sauce in a small bowl, and set that aside or even keep it chilled in the fridge.
- Next, I grill the chicken on my grill pan until golden-brown and juicy, allowing it to rest for a moment before sliding the pieces from the skewers.
- To assemble the wraps, I drizzle some of the garlic sauce over the flatbread, and add some greens and tomato slices; then I add some of the grilled lemon chicken and more garlic sauce, wrap things up, and enjoy!

Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps
by Ingrid Beer
Category: Entree
Cuisine: American
Yield: 4 wraps
Nutrition Info: 681 calories (per wrap with 2 tablespoons of spicy garlic sauce)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Total time: 28 minutes
Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps Ingredients:
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts), cubed into bite-size pieces
- Olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
- Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch or two black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 4 middle eastern-style flatbreads (you can use pita bread, as well)
- Arugula greens
- Sliced tomatoes
Spicy Garlic Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream or full-fat, plain Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sriracha (I used a lot more since I like mine spicy, so use your own judgement!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper (again, you can use more, if you like it spicier)
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- Place the cubed chicken into a medium-size bowl, and drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil; add in the garlic, plus the remainder of the ingredients up to and including the paprika, and using your hands, toss all of the seasonings/spices very well to coat the chicken.
- Using 4 bamboo skewers (you can soak these in water first to prevent burning), skewer the chicken so that there is equal portions of meat on each skewer, and allow the chicken to marinate for about 20 minutes, or even overnight, if making ahead.
- While the chicken marinates, prep the garlic sauce by adding all the ingredients to a medium-size bowl, and whisking together until completely smooth and creamy; set aside, or keep in the fridge, covered. (I like to put mine in a plastic squeeze bottle, and keep any leftovers in the fridge to use for other sandwiches, or as a tasty condiment.)
- When ready to grill, place a grill pan over medium-high heat (you can certainly use your outdoor grill, as well), and drizzle in a little oil; once the oil gets hot, place the chicken skewers into the pan, and cook them for about 6-8 minutes, turning them occasionally so that they get a bit charred on all sides, or until cooked through; allow them to rest, lightly covered with foil, for about 5-10 minutes; then, remove the chicken cubes from the skewers and set aside.
- To assemble, add a little drizzle of the spicy garlic sauce onto the flatbread, followed by the greens; then, add a couple of slices of tomato, and about one skewer-worth of the lemon chicken; drizzle over a generous amount of the spicy garlic sauce, and fold the sides towards the middle to form a “wrap” (you can even use some parchment paper or foil to hold it all together, if you'd like).
Tips & Tidbits for my Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps:
- Allow some time for marination: Twenty minutes worth of marination is a good amount of time to allow the lemon zest/juice and spices to penetrate the chicken; but marinate for longer (even overnight) if you'd like even more flavorful lemon chicken!
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water: To help reduce the chance of the bamboo skewers burning too much, I like to soak them in some warm water for a few minutes before adding the chicken pieces.
- Grill pan, or outdoor grill: For convenience, I just use my little indoor grill pan to grill my chicken skewers; but you can certainly use your outdoor grill to impart more “smokiness”.
- Sub yogurt in the garlic sauce: The recipe for the garlic sauce calls for both mayo and sour cream, but you can sub plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for one or even both of those.
- Where to find tahini: Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds that looks like a nut butter, and is typically found in the section of the market where the nut butters are found.
- Prep ahead for easy grilled lemon chicken flatbread wraps: To expedite things, you can marinate and skewer the chicken, and prep your garlic sauce the day before you plan on grilling and serving the sandwich wraps. The day of, simply grill the chicken, and assemble the wraps!

Kathi
Ingrid- you have done it again! These wraps are incredible! The chicken is sooo yummy- and moist!- even though half of them charred a bit much on the bbq! The Spicy Garlic Sauce is a new favorite for our house- I doubled the recipe to be sure we had enough to dip our fries in to also, and so glad I did! As this will be a great change-up to mayo and mustard for sandwiches! I followed your recipes exactly, and they are perfectly magnificent! Thank you for another wonderful addition to my recipe file and our family dinners! Have a lovely Easter weekend!! 🙂 Tip for readers: Can't find Tahini in your grocery store? I found it in mine by accident as it is in the Kosher section!! Maybe your store would have it in the same place?!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Kathi! I'm thrilled that you and your family enjoyed these! Isn't that sauce delicious? And thanks for the tip on the tahini; it looks like different stores keep it in different places. Thank you for your comments!
Lynn
How long will the sauce last in the fridge?
The Cozy Apron
Lynn, you should be pretty good for about a week. 🙂
Riley
Is there a tahini substitute? I want to make these tomorrow but don't think I will have time to grab it. If it's a game changer I'll wait until I can get some.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Riley, it's not a game changer. Just leave it out, and enjoy the recipe! 🙂
nakia
I take a hand full of sesame seeds, roast them and blitz them to make a paste. It does a bit of the flavour you are looking for.
michele m.
I made these tonight and they were so yummy! The marinade gave such great flavor to the chicken and that sauce.......omg so tasty! I like things spicy too, so i added more sriracha and cayenne as well. I served it with a simple salad and spelt risotto from trader joe's for an easy side dish. This will make our rotation for sure! Thanks!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Michele! So excited that you enjoyed these, and that they'll be a part of your dinner rotation! Great choice of side by the way—isn't Trader Joe's the best? 🙂 Thanks for your comments!
Shakhar
I just now marinated my chicken and mixed up some of the sauce. Can't wait to try these tonight for dinner. I also got some real Middle Eastern flat bread to try with it from a store near by. 🙂 Ty for the wonderful recipe! It looks delicious and healthy.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Shakhar, hope you enjoyed these! Thank you for commenting.
whitewolfnoami
Oh my goodness!
Can't wait to try these! Sounds so yummy & amazing!
The sauce sounds tasty too! Thank you for the recipe!

LaTrice
The Grilled Lemon Chicken Flat bread is making my mouth water, and I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food. Is it possible that I can use lettuce for the sandwiches, because my sister doesn't like arugula. Thank you, Ingrid. 🙂
The Cozy Apron
Hi LaTrice, absolutely! Use whatever type of green you and your sis will like! 🙂 Hope you both enjoy the recipe!
Suzanne
I made these for dinner tonight. They were absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be making them again. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
The Cozy Apron
Suzanne, my pleasure! So glad you enjoyed them!
Amber
Can you tell me where to find Tahini. I have looked at 2 supermarkets and Walmart...I live in a major city in the U.S. but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Molly
I found Tahini at Whole Foods.
The Cozy Apron
Yup! 😉
Mary Beth
Asian grocery stores often carry it.
Mary Beth
If you google it, you can often find at least one middle eastern grocery store in larger areas. Fresh pitas are here as well.
Toshia
Look by the peanut butter
Mom24_4evermom
Made this for lunch today. Awesome. Thank you so much. We cut back on the Sirachi, I'm not sure my kids would have eaten the full version. The chicken was delicious on its own and the sandwich combination was great. Will definitely make again.
The Cozy Apron
That sounds perfect! Glad the kiddos liked it, too—thank you for your comments!
Molly laster
I can't handle a lot of spice but this recipe sounds so good. How can I substitute for something less spicy?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Molly, this is really not that spicy, but you can certainly just omit the spice altogether. 🙂
Shilpa
Such a good recipe! My family loves this shawarma style wrap and it's now part of our weekly dinner rotation! Thankyou!
The Cozy Apron
Glad you're enjoying, Shilpa! Thanks for sharing with me!
Megan
This is delicious , however next time I make it I will halve the salt in the marinade ,
and the spicy garlic sauce . To salty for my family .
The Cozy Apron
Megan, so glad you and your family enjoyed these! And yes, absolutely—use the amount of salt that you and your family are comfortable with. Thanks for commenting!
Abbie Workman
Oh My Gosh!!! These are the most amazing things I have eaten in a long, long time! Thank you so much for this recipe! The only thing I added was cucumber and feta. I was looking for something healthy and different. This is on my list now. Love it!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Abbie, the cucumber and feta additions sound perfect! So glad you enjoyed these, and that they made your "list"! 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
Sophia Martin
This recipe is a huge hit with my family! Everyone asked for this recipe to be regular on our menu. Thank you for sharing it!
The Cozy Apron
Sophia, glad you all enjoyed! Thanks for sharing that with me! 🙂
Rebecca
Hi. I made these for dinner tonight. I have a ton of the sauce leftover. How long will it keep in fridge?
Thanks for the recipe.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Rebecca, it'll keep for a while in the fridge—I'd say you'd be fine for about a week (maybe even a little more) as long as it's kept in a covered, air-tight container and cold. You can enjoy it as a spread, or as a dressing, as well! Glad you enjoyed these.
Timmi
These wraps are TO DIE for! Omg my husband and I AND my 15 yo son loved every bite! My son is the pickiest! I thought for sure he would pass on the sauce. But he loved it! We are having them again tonight! Two days in a row. Love love love!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Timmi, that's so great! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. 🙂 Glad you all enjoyed, and I particularly love that your "picky" 15 year-old enjoyed, too!
Dave
Made this tonite. Flavor was excellent! Added cilantro to it. Even better.! Sauce was great with the spices on the chicken. Pretty spicy so if you like spicy even better.
The Cozy Apron
Dave, the cilantro add-in is a great idea—I love cilantro, too! Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe—glad your enjoyed!
Alex
This recipe sounds delicious! By any chance do you have the nutritional information on this meal?
Ana
I cannot find Tahini anywhere. Living on a military base in Japan you can't find much of what you want when you need it. Can I do without the tahini or is there anything I can replace it with?
Also can I use minced garlic in the jar for the sauce?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Ana, first, of all, thank you for either your service, or your loved one's service! Our son is a Marine, and it makes me feel kindred to hear that you are on a base. 🙂 Don't worry about including the tahini—can totally be left out. And use the minced garlic if that's what you have available—fresh is best tasting, but if you're not able to get it, use what you have. Hope you enjoy!
Chelsea
Made this tonight and it was so awesome. Thank you so much!!!
The Cozy Apron
Chelsea, so glad you enjoyed!
Andrea
GREAT recipe!! For anyone who is wondering, you can leave out the mayonnaise from the sauce and it's still super delicious! (just replace with a little more yogurt/sour cream). I also didn't use the tahini as I didn't have any. Personally, I found that it made about double the sauce you need. There were so many great flavors in here you could really just eat the marinaded chicken on its own (the sauce almost overwhelmed it a little), but it was a really delicious combo.
The Cozy Apron
Andrea, thanks so much for your comments! Great that you made the recipe to your taste!
Adam
AWE SNAP! This is a recipe for the ages. Made it for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. Our daughter now wants it for her B-Day dinner. This is even good the following day as leftovers. Well done Cozy Apron!
The Cozy Apron
Hey Adam, that's awesome! So glad these were a hit for you, and I"m thrilled your daughter already requested the recipe as her b-day meal! 🙂 Thank you for your comments.
Cristina
I stumbled on this recipe on Pinterest and I am so happy I did! My family LOVED it, and the deliciousness is in the simplicity of the ingredients. I dressed the leftover arugula I had with some olive oil, salt/pepper, tomatoes and lemon juice and served as a side salad. I loved how un-fussy this was, and how flavorful. (Oh, and I will use that garlic sauce with EVERYTHING now!)
The Cozy Apron
Cristina, isn't Pinterest the best, lol?! So glad you all loved this, and I'm grateful you came back to share your experience with the recipe. Great way to make use of the remaining arugula, by the way!
Denise
I have made this a few times but always go back to the garlic sauce. It is a staple in my kitchen. I leave out the salt and cayenne pepper for us -just due to individual tastes. It is SO delicious!! Thank you!!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Denise, thank you for sharing that with me! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the sauce so much—it's truly really tasty on all sorts of things, isn't it? I appreciate your comments.
Lexi @That Fit Fam
these look sooo good! Love that sauce!
Alexandra
Hi dear,
Buzzfeed featured your recipe recently and I just made it - and I'm in love!
I skipped the tahini in the sauce and the coriander on the chicken, as I'm not a big fan of both, but still it was amazingly tasty. I just mailed this to my mom, as I know she will love it just as much.
Thank you for this wonderful inspiration!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Alexandra, thank you! Glad you enjoyed this, and that you passed it along to your mom, too! 🙂 Appreciate your comments.
Janet
Just made this and it is OUTSTANDING!!!! Those flavors blended together!!!!! Words fail me. I don't have enough superlatives. Thank you and kudos.
The Cozy Apron
WOW, Janet—I'm humbled! Thanks for your comments, and I'm truly thrilled you enjoyed the recipe so much! 🙂
Pam S
I have made these wraps several times now and it is a regular in our family as they are absolutely delicious.! Last time I made them I forgot to put the tahini in the sauce but was still was great! So I guess if you don't have any or can't find tahini near you then no worries! Thank you for such a great recipe!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Pam, thank you for sharing that—I love that you're enjoying these so much! And it's certainly no problem if you forget the add in (or don't have any) tahini; it just adds a mild nuttiness, but it's perfectly delicious without, as well. 🙂
Crissy
This was amazing! I used a different marinade that had more garlic, 1 tsp paprika, no coriander or oregano, added a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. I don't buy tahini because I never end up using all of it so I just put some hummus on our wraps. Omg the garlic sauce is to die for, we even dipped tater tots in it! Thanks for this amazing recipe, I would make it again and again.
The Cozy Apron
HI Crissy, glad you enjoyed! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Liz
Made this for tea tonight, And omgoodness they where amazing and loved by young and old in my household. A new family number one. I cooked chicken on the BBQ, wonderful and easy for summer.

The Cozy Apron
Liz, so glad to read that—thanks for sharing! I love it when everyone who partakes is a happy camper. 🙂
Kimberly
Oh my, these were so so good! My husband loved these and that spicy sauce goes with so many things we dipped fresh carrots in it. This is a keeper, thanks
The Cozy Apron
Kimberly, I love the idea of dipping fresh veggies into it—perfect! So glad you both enjoyed the recipe!
Erica
Do you know what the serving size/calories would be for just the sauce?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Erica,
The serving size for the sauce is about 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup), approximately* 70 calories.
*But the calories will for sure vary depending on the brands/kinds used for the ingredients.
We always recommend building your own recipe analysis at a site like calorie count
Linda
Making lemon chicken tonight, can't wait. You can make tahini with sesame seeds and olive oil. Look on Pinterest and get the recipe. Seems very easy.
Angela
I made this last night, it was the best thing I have made in a while. I didn't have tahini so I used 1 tsp of sesame oil. It worked out well. I just found your blog and I love it. The photos are like beautiful artwork and the stories with each recipe are so well written and many of them so inspiring and uplifting. Thank you.
The Cozy Apron
Wow, Angela, I'm so touched to read that, because you say it's the best thing you made in a while (love that), and because you mentioned the written posts and my husbands lovely photography. Thank you! We strive to create a site that will nourish both the physical and the spiritual, so that means a lot. We appreciate your comments!
Samantha
Hello this looks great, but I am allergic to chicken. Do you think that you could substitute steak instead?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Samantha, absolutely! I think steak would be excellent!
Vicky Grayson
Hi, I used only 1/2 teaspoon of iodized salt and found it a bit too much. So then I wondered if you were using kosher salt? And I'm a saltaholic.....lol.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Vicky! By all means, add the level of salt you prefer—go a little less if it's too much for you. And I use sea salt as my preferred salt! 🙂
Maureen
This was so delicious and the sauce is amazing! Looking forward to trying other recipes, I just discovered your site.
The Cozy Apron
Maureen, that is wonderful! Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed your experience with the recipe; and I'm very excited that you're planning on giving other recipes a go, as well! Happy cooking!
Becca
Can this be cooked in a skillet on the stove? don't have a grill working right now 🙁
The Cozy Apron
Of Course, Becca! Just cook up chunks like pictured above, in a skillet or however would be easiest.
Donna Martinez
OMG. I made this recipe this weekend. It was a HIT! My family is already asking when I will be making this again. Leftovers were just as tasty the next day. So flavorful. I used Lavash bread as my "wrap". Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am a fan of yours for life!!
The Cozy Apron
Donna, wow—so happy to read that! (I particularly love it when the whole family enjoys a recipe.) So excited to have you as a "fan for life", lol, and I truly hope you give some of our other recipes a try as well! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Claire Van Allen
I usually like when people make comments once they have tried the recipe but in this case just had to comment on the photographs. They are amazing.
CozyAdmin
Thanks, Claire! I appreciate that!
Hannah W.
I made this tonight, and my husband and son both loved it! I'm excited to try more of your recipes.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Hannah, that's great to hear! Glad you all enjoyed the recipe, and it's also music to my ears that you plan on trying out some other recipes, as well. Happy cooking!
Des
I've been eyeing this recipe for so long, finally getting to it (chicken is marinatin as we speak) but, I don't have a grill #DormLife. Can I still get the same awesomeness in the oven or non-stick frying pan?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Des, I'd go with the fry pan, and just cut the chicken up into chunks. I hope you enjoy this! Glad you're finally making this!
Beth
Your garlic sauce is amaze-balls!
The Cozy Apron
Haha! Love it! Thanks.
Michelle West
I have made this recipe twice! We love it!!! Thank you for this yummy meal!

Who would not love this recipe... am so happy to come across it... so flavorful... both my husband and son love it. Thanks a lot !
The Cozy Apron
Hi Neha, I'm thrilled you all love the recipe! Thanks so much for your comments!
Caroline at Pinch Me, I'm Eating!
Loved this!!! I sliced up the chicken instead of chunking it, and also tossed some eggplants and red bell peppers in the marinade. Served with tomatoes on homemade pita bread. Definitely a keeper!
The Cozy Apron
Glad you enjoyed, and put your own spin on it!
Ros Reil
Good recipe! My family enjoyed it, and thought the use of skewer made the chicken a very special weeknight meal. I broiled them in a foil lined baking sheet for 5 minutes each side. Sauce was very good! I did not need to use all the salt.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Ros, thanks for your comments! Glad you enjoyed these, and that you tweaked the level of salt to suit your needs.
Jeff McKeown
They're so many comments, but I have to. This is amazingly good. Thank you. It's a cold winter's night in Seattle and this was perfect.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Jeff, there can never be too many comments, lol! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe & found some comfort in it on a cold winter’s night. Thank you for sharing!
Barb
Thank you so much, this was AMAZING!! My husband and I loved it!! So Many Flavors but worked So Amazing Together..we found online to use peanut butter As a substitute for tahini. odd but it worked..
The Cozy Apron
Wow, Barb, that peanut butter is certainly a unique twist! I’m just so very happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking some time to share your experience!
Brinkley
Okay... can I just say how delicious this is? My husband and I are not eating carbs so I made this on a bed of patricianly cooked spinach. The flavors are outstanding. I do however think next time I won't use as much garlic. Don't get me wrong, I L O V E garlic but for some reason it was a little overpowering.
I also used a bell pepper when BBQ ing it. If I could rate this I would give it 5 stars!!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Brinkley, thanks so much for your 5-star rating! What a creative way to serve these for your no carb diet...I'm sure the spinach was delicious, as well as the bell pepper. And if that garlic is a bit too overpowering for your taste, absolutely go less on that to make this more enjoyable for you. Thanks so much for your comments!
Carol
Amazing!! The flavors were out of this world . My son is not huge into tomatoes so I sautéed onions & mushrooms which were great addition! Thx for the great recipe!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Carol, great substitutions! I'm so happy you all enjoyed the recipe so much, and I thank you for taking the time to share your experience here, as well!
Stephanie
Hello! I want to make this for dinner tonight, but was wondering if I could pan fry instead of grill the chicken? Thank you for your help.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Stephanie, of course! Please use whatever method works best for you...the flavor will still be as delicious as ever. Hope you enjoy!
Stephanie
I made this tonight for dinner, the kids and husband devoured it- myself included! My husband kept commenting on how good dinner was - something I don't achieve often, ha! I didn't have tahini for the sauce or coriander for the chicken and I fried it in a very hot pan. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes for everyone to enjoy!
The Cozy Apron
Stephanie, this is music to my ears! Job well done! And here's to many more "good dinners"...
Alana
These look amazing! Do you by any chance know how many calories per serving?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Alana, I just did a quick little calculation, and the calorie count per serving is 747. Hope that help! Enjoy!
Susan
Just made this for dinner tonight. SO YUMMY! Even my pickiest eater liked it minus the arugula. I did add a little goat cheese just for fun. Wow that was good. I am not real big on sauces or dressing and honestly was a little nervous about putting too much on, but this one was so great I had to go back and add more. It just takes this very easy to make meal over the top. Thanks for sharing.
The Cozy Apron
Hey Susan, I love when the "picky eaters" enjoy my recipes as well! So glad the recipe was a success for you, and that you even ended up adding more of the sauce—it truly does take these wraps over the top with that extra hint of garlicky savoriness. Thanks so much for taking a few moments to comment on your experience!
Carole
This sounds wonderful, which is one reason I spent so much time tracking the recipe down.
I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. Mostly hate these days, as so many of the links I follow go nowhere, or have no source offered. I took quite a train of pictures to find your blog, and this recipe, and I'm glad I finally did.
Thanks for sharing.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Carole, I'm so sorry to read that tracking this recipe down was such a struggle! But I'm glad you ultimately found success in landing here, and that you will enjoy the recipe. Happy cooking to you!
Toni Kulyk
Great recipe! How can I get nutrition information?

Hi Toni, thanks so much—glad you enjoyed! The calorie count per wrap is 747.
Rachel
My husband and I LOVE this recipe! We've made it so many times in the last couple of months! The Marinade is way out of this world!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Rachel, thanks so much! So glad you and your hubby are enjoying these wraps so much! Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
Nicky M
Hi! This recipe sounds amazing! For the marinade is it possible to leave out the yogurt? I have a dairy allergy.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Nicky, you absolutely can leave out the sour cream or yogurt in the sauce; just sub in more mayo in that case. Hope you enjoy!
Kelly Byler
This was easy to put together and the flavors were amazing!! I absolutely loved every bite!
The Cozy Apron
Hi Kelly, that's great! I'm so happy you enjoyed the flavors in the recipe, and that you found it quite easy to whip up!
Donna Bonne
Thanks for this great recipe. I think I found it soon after you shared it. I haven't made it in a while, but my 27 year old daughter is home this weekend and requested it.
The Cozy Apron
Donna, I am so very touched that this recipe has been requested by your daughter. I hope you both enjoy it thoroughly, together!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. 😉
Diane
HI Ingrid,
They say you eat with your eyes and the beautiful pics of your wraps made me want to try your recipe. Also that it was so easy to put together. I like kabobs but chose not to do it that way, I have a cast iron skillet that I put the chicken cubes in, same result. Also on the tahini, I looked up the substitute for it and it is 3 parts peanut butter to 1 part sesame oil which is what I used. Love the sauce and will be using it for other things. One thing that I added to the wraps was Feta cheese, just seemed to need it. My husband and I love these and this will be a keeper recipe.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Diane, thank you so much for sharing how much you enjoyed the wraps!
Glad you made these your own, using a method that works best for you, and that all turned out delicious. And the feta is an excellent addition—it's one of my favorite cheeses, and I can totally see how the tangy/salty flavors add a little extra flair!
May you enjoy the recipe for a long time!
anne
This was SO GOOD! My daughter said I should use this marinade for chicken every time. Thank you for the delicious recipe we'll be sure to make again soon.
The Cozy Apron
Anne, my heart is happy to read that! Thanks so much for sharing with me.
And that marinade really is very good for chicken, for many different preparations—feel free to use it and experiment! 😉
Kristin
Amazing. The chicken marinade is amazing and so is the sauce.
The Cozy Apron
Kristin, thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the recipe so much, and I'm so very glad you came back to share your experience!

This has become my family's go-to summer recipe when we are entertaining. Love the marinade and spicy sauce. It's officially known as "The Sauce" by friends and requested to be brought anytime someone is grilling meat!! We always add zucchini and red peppers to the skewers. Instead of wraps, we serve it with salad and plain white rice. It makes a great rice bowl or salad with the dressing added to either. It's a perfect meal and always has people begging for the recipe!! Thanks for sharing it!!

So very glad to read how much you all have been enjoying this recipe and "the sauce", Betsy! Thanks so much for sharing with me, and for sharing the recipe with so many others!
Samita
Would this be as tasty if made ahead of time for a weekday work lunch?
The Cozy Apron
Absolutely, Samita!
If there is some way for you to reheat the chicken at work, then you can bring components (sauce, wrap, etc), reheat the chicken, and assemble at work.
If you can't reheat at work, these would be delicious cold as well. You could assemble them completely at home if more convenient, or bring the components, dress with sauce and wrap up at work. 😉
Hope you enjoy!

Do you have any nutritional information for this recipe please.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Julie, I can tell you that there are roughly 747 calories per wrap with roughly 2 tablespoons of sauce. Hope that helps!
Rita
Did you use Sriracha sauce or dry seasoning? Are the portions the same?
The Cozy Apron
Hi Rita, I used the Sriracha sauce!
Sarah
I absolutely love this recipe! I've made it a few times for friends and everyone always raves about it. Since I don't have a grill, I cut my chicken into cubes and cooked it on a saute pan, it doesn't have the great grill flavor but still delicious. I have also added feta cheese to the sandwich and found it to be a great addition!
The Cozy Apron
Aw, thanks for letting me know, Sarah! I'm thrilled to read that you've shared the recipe with friends. 🙂
The feta sounds like the perfect addition, by the way!
Allie
Just wanted to share that these wraps are flat-out AMAZING! They are a huge hit with the entire family! I've made them several times now, and my kids and husband actually cheer when they hear we're having these for dinner. We find the chicken to be perfectly spiced, and the garlic sauce is insanely good (like a next-level sriracha mayo sauce). If time allows, I make a batch of homemade naan bread and serve the chicken on one of those with chopped romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and the garlic sauce (sometimes hubby puts feta on his). We have a tradition of each family member getting to choose a special dinner on their birthday each year, and this is the meal my husband picks. I've learned to double the chicken when I make this so that we can enjoy leftovers. Thank you, Ingrid, for sharing this with us!

Hi Allie, thanks so much for that stellar review! 🙂
I'm thrilled the entire family is loving the recipe, and I hope you all get lots and lots of comfort, pleasure and nourishment from it for a long time to come. (By the way, that homemade naan? Sounds out of this world!!)
Happy cooking to you, Allie!

Genevieve Durnin
Do you think this will taste well if eaten cold? This recipes sounds delicious and I’d love to make it for my daughter and her friend to take for lunch.
The Cozy Apron
Hi Genevieve, absolutely! This is one of those flavorful wraps that are really great either warm or cold. Just be sure to allow all hot ingredients to completely cool, then assemble these wraps so that they don't get steamy and, hence, soggy.
What a kind and precious gesture of love to send your daughter and her friend off with these are their lunch. Hope they thoroughly enjoy! 🙂
Cara
My husband is obsessed with these and I have to make them for him for his birthday and fathers day etc. If I haven't made them in awhile I always hear about it. 🙂
The Cozy Apron
Hi Cara, so happy to read that you all have been enjoying these wraps so much! Hope your hubby enjoyed for Father's Day 😉.

When I want to cook a meal on the grill that always impresses, this is it. Make sure you make enough because everyone is going to devour this. The flavors are just perfect. It will become the most requested meal of the summer. I’ve been making this every summer since I found this recipe 3 years ago.
The Cozy Apron
Thanks so much for your comment, Robert! Thrilled this recipe has become a summer staple, and that you and your loved ones have been enjoying it for 3 years now. Terrific! I appreciate you letting me know! 🙂
Happy cooking (and grilling!) to you, and may you continue to keep everyone's bellies happy and full with this yummy little meal!
