Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Wraps
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 4 large whole wheat wraps
Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Herbs
- 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
Cheese
- 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 until smooth and creamy. Set aside to let the flavors combine.
- Season and warm the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and sprinkle with paprika. Toss well to coat evenly and warm the chicken for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to soak up the seasoning.
- Chop vegetables and herbs: Dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley and dill.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay one whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of the seasoned chicken, then top with the chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely. Repeat this assembly process with the remaining wraps.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve immediately. These wraps pair wonderfully with hummus or a crisp green salad for a complete and balanced meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the cooked chicken briefly in lemon juice and olive oil before warming.
- Use low-fat Greek yogurt to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables like roasted red peppers or olives if desired.
- These wraps are best served fresh; store leftovers separately to keep the wrap from becoming soggy.
- Substitute whole wheat wraps with gluten-free wraps if necessary for dietary needs.
