Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 cup Hummus
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 small Lemon
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the chicken breast evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the veggies. Dice the cucumber and half the red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the Kalamata olives. Chop the fresh parsley finely. Crumble the feta cheese if it isn't pre-crumbled. Set these aside.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are soft and pliable.
To assemble, spread a tablespoon or more of hummus on each tortilla, depending on your preference.
Evenly distribute the sliced chicken onto each tortilla, followed by a generous topping of diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and the red onion.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese on top of each tortilla.
Squeeze a lemon wedge over each tortilla for a fresh burst of flavor.
Roll up the tortillas tightly and slice in half before serving.
