Inside, the first layer consists of chunks of grilled chicken, beige with char marks, mixed with diced red tomatoes adding bright spots of color. This sits on a layer of green spinach leaves, while dark purple olives are scattered throughout. The filling looks moist and fresh, tightly packed within the tortilla.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

4 large whole wheat wraps

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp paprika

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Make the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and sprinkle with paprika. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

Step 3: While the chicken heats, prepare the vegetables by dicing cucumbers and tomatoes, slicing red onions, and chopping parsley and dill.

Step 4: Lay each whole wheat wrap flat. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce in the center. Add a layer of seasoned chicken, then top with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and herbs. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

Step 5: Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll tightly from the bottom. Slice in half if desired.

Step 6: Serve immediately with a side of hummus or a light green salad.

Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken to save time without sacrificing flavor.

Prepare the filling and yogurt sauce ahead of time and store separately for quick assembly later.

Swap in dairy-free yogurt and omit feta cheese for a dairy-free version.

These wraps hold up well for lunchboxes and make a great meal the next day.
