Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole-grain wraps
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Cucumber, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Hummus
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each piece for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the wrap fillings. Lay out the whole-grain wraps and spread a layer of hummus on each one.
Divide the shredded romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese evenly among the wraps.
Top with the sliced grilled chicken.
Wrap tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom up.
Cut each wrap in half and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy Mediterranean chicken wrap!
