Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 wraps whole wheat wraps
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 medium red onion
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
While the chicken is grilling, slice the avocados, cherry tomatoes, and red onion thinly.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Lay out the whole wheat wraps and start layering with a handful of baby spinach, sliced avocado, grilled chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. If desired, slice the wrap in half for easier handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Grilled Chicken Avocado Wraps!
