Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 pieces Whole wheat wraps
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 0.5 cup, sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.25 cup, sliced Kalamata olives
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 0.25 cup, crumbled Feta cheese (optional, reduced-sodium)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Flatten the chicken breast slightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Rub this marinade over the chicken breast.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the veggies. Slice the cucumber and red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the olives if using whole olives.
Take a whole wheat wrap and spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over it.
Place half a cup of baby spinach in the center of the wrap, followed by half of the sliced chicken.
Add half of the prepared cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives on top of the chicken.
If using feta cheese, sprinkle half of it evenly over the top.
Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, burrito-style, to secure all the ingredients inside.
Repeat the process for the second wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium Mediterranean chicken wraps!
