Equipment

Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs (you can also use skinless chicken breasts)
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoons Greek seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic granules
  • 1 tablespoons za’atar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tbsp oil for grilling

For the Lettuce Wraps

  • 1 head butter lettuce bibb lettuce, or green leaf lettuce (washed and dried with a paper towel)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup hummus
  • 2 tbsp chili garlic oil We use Trader Joe's
  • ½ cup cucumber diced
  • ½ cup tomato diced
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives sliced
  • ¼ cup pepperoncini chopped
  • ½ cup onions
  • ½ cup red peppers sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled Feta Cheese

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic granules, Greek seasoning, and za’atar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let them rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor). You can put them into a resealable plastic bag of a covered dish. Make sure to seal bag and place in a dish, to ensure no mishaps.
    1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoons Greek seasoning, 2 teaspoons garlic granules, 1 tablespoons za’atar, 1 tablespoon sriracha

Grill the Chicken

  • Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high. Oil the grill grates to ensure the chicken does not stick. Remove excess marinade and grill the chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let chicken rest, then slice into bite size pieces.
    1 tbsp oil

Sauté the Onions

  • Place a small pan over medium heat and add just a tiny bit of oil. Add sliced onions and toss to coat with the oil. Allow the onions to sauté, but do not brown them. This process will take away the sting and sharp taste of the onion, replacing it with a sweeter flavor.

Assemble the Lettuce Wraps

  • Lay out your lettuce leaves or lettuce cups on a serving platter. Add a spoonful of hummus to each, followed by sliced grilled chicken, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of chili garlic oil, and your toppings: cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.
