Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Brown rice, cooked
- 4 pieces Spinach tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece Cucumber, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and rub it in evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they're fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Assemble the wraps by laying out a spinach tortilla. In the center of the tortilla, place a quarter cup of cooked brown rice.
Add an equal portion of chicken slices, followed by a handful of baby spinach, and evenly distribute slices of red bell pepper and cucumber over the top.
Drizzle half a tablespoon of lemon juice over the ingredients in each wrap for a fresh zing.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for a quick, healthy meal option.
