Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a marinade forms.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the cucumber and tomato into thin rounds.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt over each tortilla.
Layer each tortilla with fresh spinach leaves, followed by cucumber slices, tomato slices, and cooked paprika chicken.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to create a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Serve the wraps immediately for a fresh and delicious meal.
