Chicken Wrap
A quick, healthy chicken wrap packed with grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a tangy Greek yogurt sauce—perfect for a nutritious meal any time of day.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 diced tomato
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup grated carrots
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss until well coated. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred for a smoky flavor. Remove from heat and let rest.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and set aside.
Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the prepared sauce over each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, grated carrots, and the cooked chicken strips. For extra flavor, you can add your favorite herbs or a squeeze of fresh lime.
Wrap and Serve:
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. Slice diagonally and serve immediately, or pack in an airtight container for a quick, healthy meal later.
Notes
- Marinating Time: For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for up to 2 hours.
- Vegetarian Alternative: For a vegetarian twist, substitute chicken with firm tofu or a mix of roasted vegetables.
- Dietary Adjustments: Use a low-carb or gluten-free wrap base if dietary restrictions are a concern.
- Storage Tip: Keep sauce and wrap ingredients separate if preparing in advance to avoid sogginess.
- Fresh Herbs: Enhance the wrap with fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or mint just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
- Seasoning Flexibility: Adjust seasoning to taste, and feel free to experiment with different spices for a unique flavor profile.
