Ingredients: Cooked Chicken Breast (500g): Provides lean protein, essential for satiety and muscle building. You can use grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie chicken.; Plain Greek Yogurt (1 cup): Forms the base of the creamy and tangy dressing, offering protein and probiotics. Opt for full-fat or low-fat depending on your preference.; Lemon Juice (2 tablespoons): Adds brightness and acidity to the dressing, balancing the richness of the yogurt. Freshly squeezed is always best for flavor.; Fresh Dill (2 tablespoons, chopped): Lends a fresh, herbaceous, and slightly citrusy flavor that complements chicken and yogurt beautifully.; Fresh Parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped): Contributes a mild, clean, and slightly peppery flavor, adding depth to the herb blend.; Garlic Powder (1 teaspoon): Provides a savory and aromatic base note to the dressing, enhancing the overall flavor profile.; Salt (to taste): Enhances the flavors of all the ingredients and balances the overall taste.; Black Pepper (to taste): Adds a subtle spice and depth of flavor, complementing the other seasonings.; Whole Wheat Tortillas (8-10): Serve as the wrap for the filling, providing fiber and a source of complex carbohydrates. Look for whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrients.; Lettuce Leaves (1 head): Adds crispness, freshness, and hydration to the wraps. Romaine or butter lettuce are excellent choices.; Cucumber (1, thinly sliced): Provides a cool, refreshing crunch and hydration. English cucumbers or regular cucumbers work well.; Tomato (2, sliced or diced): Adds juicy sweetness and acidity. Roma, cherry, or vine-ripened tomatoes are all great options.; Red Onion (1/4, thinly sliced): Offers a sharp, pungent flavor and a satisfying crunch. Use sparingly if you prefer a milder onion flavor.; Bell Pepper (1, sliced, any color): Adds sweetness, crunch, and vibrant color. Red, yellow, or orange bell peppers are excellent choices.; Optional: Feta Cheese (crumbled): Provides a salty, tangy, and creamy element, adding extra flavor and texture.; Optional: Kalamata Olives (pitted, halved): Adds a salty, briny, and Mediterranean flavor dimension.; Optional: Hummus: For spreading on the tortilla for extra flavor and creaminess.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: If you are not using pre-cooked chicken, cook your chicken breast first. You can grill, bake, or pan-fry it until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces. Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken is a fantastic time-saver and adds great flavor.
Make the Greek Yogurt Dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk all the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You might want to add a pinch more salt, pepper, or a squeeze more lemon juice to achieve your desired flavor profile. If you prefer a thinner dressing, you can add a tablespoon or two of water or milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumber thinly. Slice or dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion. Slice the bell pepper into strips. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. If you are using feta cheese, crumble it. If using Kalamata olives, pit and halve them. Having all your vegetables prepped and ready to go will make the wrap assembly process much faster and smoother.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. You can lightly warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll. Spread a thin layer of hummus (optional) over the tortilla if desired. This adds an extra layer of flavor and creaminess and helps to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
Layer the Ingredients: Place a few lettuce leaves down the center of the tortilla. Top with a generous portion of the shredded or diced cooked chicken. Spoon a few tablespoons of the Greek yogurt dressing over the chicken, ensuring it’s nicely distributed.
Add the Vegetables and Optional Toppings: Arrange the sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper over the dressed chicken. If you are using feta cheese and Kalamata olives, sprinkle them over the vegetables now. Don’t be afraid to be generous with your fillings, but avoid overfilling to prevent the wrap from tearing when you roll it.
Roll the Wraps: To roll the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla towards the center, and then tightly roll it up from the bottom, similar to rolling a burrito. Make sure to tuck in the fillings as you roll to create a snug and secure wrap.
Serve and Enjoy: You can serve the Greek Yogurt Chicken Wraps immediately. For best results, especially if packing for lunch, consider wrapping each wrap tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap to help them hold their shape and stay fresh. You can also cut them in half diagonally before serving, if desired, for easier handling and a nicer presentation. These wraps are delicious on their own or served with a side salad, fruit salad, or baked sweet potato fries.
