Description

A refreshing blend of perfectly seasoned grilled chicken, crisp veggies, and a cooling herb-dill dressing wrapped in warm tortillas. Light, healthy, and portable—ideal for summer picnics or a quick weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 23 breasts)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Creamy Herb Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable Fixings:
  • 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Wrap Base:
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-10″ in diameter)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Warm tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave. Layer each with 2 lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, cucumber slices, tomato halves, and 2 tablespoons of dressing. Roll tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap fresh herbs for dried (adjust by 1/4 tsp for dill/parsley).
  • Swap chicken with grilled shrimp or roasted chickpeas for variation.
  • Double dressing as a side dip.
