Elevate your lunchtime routine with this vibrant Mediterranean Diet Grilled Chicken Protein Wrap, a flavor-packed fusion of wholesome ingredients and fresh, zesty flair. Perfectly grilled chicken is marinated in a tantalizing blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano, delivering tender, juicy bites with every slice. Nestled inside a hearty whole wheat tortilla, itβs layered with creamy hummus, crisp cucumber, sweet tomato, and tangy red onion, all topped off with a sprinkling of crumbly feta cheese for an authentic Mediterranean touch. A homemade parsley-infused Greek yogurt sauce adds a refreshing finish, making this wrap a satisfying, protein-rich option for busy weekdays or meal prep. Quick to prepare, delightfully nutritious, and packed with bold flavors, this recipe showcases the essence of Mediterranean cuisine while keeping health-conscious eaters on track.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the chopped parsley to create a simple yogurt sauce.
Lay out the whole wheat wrap tortillas. Spread a layer of hummus on each tortilla, then place the sliced chicken strips, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the filling, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up to form a wrap.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a convenient on-the-go meal.
