Ingredients
  

  • 400 g chicken breast, boneless, skinless about 1 large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 120 g Greek yogurt ½ cup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 large leaves fresh lettuce leaves
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • optional: fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro), shredded cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Grill pan or outdoor grill
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Plate for assembling wraps

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breast horizontally to make two thinner pieces, then cut each into steak-sized portions for even grilling.
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Let marinate for 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the fridge for more flavor).
  3. While chicken marinates, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Heat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until well browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Remove from heat and rest 2 minutes, then slice chicken into strips.
  5. Warm tortillas on a dry pan or in the microwave until just flexible.
  6. Lay out each tortilla. Spread 2 tablespoons of yogurt sauce down the center. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and sliced grilled chicken. Add optional herbs or cheese if desired.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a wrap. Slice in half to serve.

Notes

Substitute Greek yogurt sauce with ranch or hummus for a twist.
Grilled vegetables (peppers, zucchini) can be added for extra flavor and nutrition.
Chicken can be grilled ahead and stored, tightly wrapped, in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Make it spicy by adding your favorite hot sauce to the yogurt sauce.
