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 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 grill: Preheat the grill or use a grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Prepare chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Coat the chicken in olive oil and rub with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper until fully coated.
- Grill chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill or pan and cook on both sides until cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes per side.
- Rest chicken: Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices before slicing.
- Make filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cooked chicken breast, Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce, coleslaw mix, cilantro, green onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out each tortilla and add a layer of romaine lettuce leaves in the center. Top with half of the chicken mixture, then add 3 slices of tomato and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, bring the bottom flap up, and roll tightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately to enjoy.
Notes
- Pre-grilled chicken strips can be used instead of fresh chicken breasts for convenience.
- 2% Greek yogurt or mayonnaise can substitute 0% Greek yogurt if a richer texture is preferred.
- For extra spice, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Broccoli slaw is recommended for a crunchy, fresh texture and added nutrition.
- Ensure the chicken reaches 165°F internally to guarantee safe consumption.
