Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps are like a chicken gyro served in a lettuce wrap instead of a pita! It’s a great low carb lunch or dinner recipe.
Boy do I loooove me some Greek food. It’s one of those cuisines that’s so easy to make healthy because it uses a bunch of fresh ingredients and vegetables.
These Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. With all the flavored of a Greek salad, plus delicious marinated chicken, plus a homemade Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce … You really can’t go wrong.
This is the perfect healthy lunch recipe because the ingredients can all be prepped ahead of time and assembled when you’re ready to eat.
Or, if you’re having this for dinner you can marinate the chicken and chop vegetables in advance to save time.
Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps are similar to a chicken gyro, but without the pita. There are so many fresh flavors going on here, I just love this recipe!
I find myself wishing I had a few more of these right now … And it’s 8 a.m.
So did I convince you yet that you must make Greek Chicken Lettuce Wraps?
Okay good. I hope you like them as much as I do.
