Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole-grain tortillas
- 0.5 cup cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and the spice mixture, making sure they are coated evenly.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into thin strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, and lemon zest. Stir well and set aside.
Wash and chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small pieces for the salad.
To assemble the wrap, lay a tortilla on a flat surface and place one lettuce leaf in the center.
Add a portion of sliced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on top of the lettuce.
Sprinkle some feta cheese over the vegetables and drizzle with a spoonful of the yogurt sauce.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top to secure the wrap.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy!
