Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Whole wheat flatbreads
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium, diced Cucumber
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 1 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.5 cup crumbs Feta cheese
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of lemon juice and half of the fresh dill. Stir well and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 6-7 minutes each side or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
Prepare the vegetables: Dice the cucumber and tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and crumble the feta cheese.
To assemble the wrap, lay a flatbread on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce over the center of the flatbread.
Place two lettuce leaves, a few pieces of cooked chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese in the center of the wrap.
Sprinkle with the remaining dill for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the flatbread over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil to enjoy later. The wraps can be served warm or at room temperature.
