Ingredient Notes
You only need chicken breasts, Moroccan spice mix, lemon juice, and whole grain wraps. The Moroccan spice mix adds a unique flavor, and the lemon juice helps to tenderize the chicken. As for the wraps, I prefer whole grain for additional fiber.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken in the Moroccan spice mix and lemon juice. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Then, saute the chicken until fully cooked. Once done, assemble your wraps with the chicken and your favorite veggies.
Things I’ve Learned
Marinating the chicken for longer will make it more flavorful. If you have the time, let it marinate overnight in the fridge. Also, you can easily customize the wraps with other ingredients like hummus, fresh veggies, or a yogurt-based dressing.
FAQs
