Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 piece avocado
- 2 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 piece cucumber
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 piece red onion
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and lightly pound it to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Place it in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
Pit and peel the avocado, then slice it lengthwise into strips.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breast from the marinade and place it on the grill pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice grill mark. Remove from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
To assemble the wraps, lay two whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute the chicken strips, avocado slices, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion across the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley over each wrap. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the contents of each tortilla.
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and tightly roll it up to form a wrap.
Slice each wrap in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy this fresh and flavorful Mediterranean Diet Chicken and Avocado Wrap for a healthy meal!
