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 (broccoli slaw recommended)
- 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 grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Prepare chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to ensure even thickness. Coat the chicken in olive oil and thoroughly rub the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper spices on all sides.
- Grill chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill or pan. Cook until both sides are done and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked through. This generally takes about 20 minutes total depending on thickness.
- Rest and slice chicken: Remove chicken from heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce, coleslaw mix, cilantro, green onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble wraps: Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat and add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce in the center. Spoon half of the chicken filling on top, then top with 3 tomato slices. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over each wrap.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, bring the bottom flap up, and roll tightly while pressing gently to secure the wrap. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Pre-grilled chicken strips can be used as a convenient substitute for fresh chicken breasts.
- For a creamier wrap, 2% Greek yogurt or mayonnaise can replace the 0% Greek yogurt if preferred.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to the safe internal temperature of 165°F to avoid undercooking.
- Feel free to swap coleslaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots if broccoli slaw is unavailable.
- Use low sugar BBQ sauce to keep added sugars minimal.
