Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 cup hummus
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Spread a thin layer of hummus over each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
Place a romaine lettuce leaf on top of the hummus, followed by sliced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Slice each roll up in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mediterranean Chicken Roll Up!
