Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Wrap
- 4 large whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Season and Warm the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken pieces, sprinkle with paprika, and toss to coat evenly. Warm the chicken through for about 3-4 minutes so it absorbs the seasoning.
- Prepare the Vegetables and Herbs: Chop the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Set aside.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of seasoned chicken, then top with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley, dill, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over everything.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely. Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half if desired and serve immediately. For a complete meal, pair with hummus or a fresh green salad.
Notes
- Using cooked chicken breast saves time; leftover roasted chicken works well.
- For a spicier wrap, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yogurt sauce.
- To keep wraps from getting soggy, assemble just before serving.
- Use gluten-free wraps if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
- Adding a handful of spinach or arugula increases the greens and nutrients.
