Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt can be replaced with tzatziki for extra flavor. • 2 tablespoons olive oil adds richness; opt for lemon juice for a lighter taste. • 1 pound chicken breast is ideal, but thighs can add more juiciness. • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers add crunch; use bell peppers for variety.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Let the chicken rest, then slice thinly.
- Assemble the wraps by placing chicken and diced cucumbers in a tortilla, drizzle with sauce, and wrap tightly.
Things I’ve Learned
Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The wrapped chicken can be reheated in a skillet or microwave. For meal prep, keep the sauce and veggies separate until ready to eat to maintain freshness.
