Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts uncooked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
For the Wraps
- 2 10 inch large burrito sized whole wheat tortillas
- ¼ cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup low sugar BBQ sauce
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (recommend using broccoli slaw)
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 1 green onion finely sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded (divided)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce chopped
- 6 slices of tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat to get ready for cooking the chicken.
- Prepare the Chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Coat the chicken with olive oil, then rub all the spices—paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper—until fully coated.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook each side until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. This should take about 8-10 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain juices before slicing it into strips.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cooked chicken with Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce, coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything well to create a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat and add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce in the center. Top the lettuce with half of the chicken filling, then add 3 slices of tomato and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll up from the bottom flap to enclose the filling tightly. Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Pre-grilled chicken strips can be substituted for fresh chicken breasts to save time.
- 2% Greek yogurt or mayonnaise can replace 0% Greek yogurt based on preference.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Broccoli slaw is recommended for added crunch and nutrition, but any coleslaw mix can be used.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrition.
