Description

It’s a quick and flavorful meal perfect for lunch or dinner, offering a balanced blend of protein, veggies, and savory BBQ flavors.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (uncooked)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ⅛ tsp dried cayenne pepper

Wrap Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or use a grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare Chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then coat them with olive oil. Rub all the spices (paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper) thoroughly over the chicken to ensure full coating.
  3. Grill Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill or pan. Cook on both sides until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). This usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  4. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices for moist, tender meat. Then slice the chicken into pieces suitable for the wrap filling.
  5. Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cooked chicken breast with Greek yogurt, low sugar BBQ sauce, coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  6. Assemble Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas and place a layer of chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each. Divide the chicken mixture evenly over the lettuce, then top each with 3 tomato slices and the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, pressing gently to keep the wrap tight. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Flattening the chicken helps ensure even cooking and prevents dryness.
  • Allowing the chicken to rest after grilling locks in the juices, making it more tender.
  • Using low sugar BBQ sauce keeps the wrap healthier and less sweet, balancing the flavors.
  • You can swap the coleslaw mix for broccoli slaw for added crunch and nutritional benefits.
  • If a grill is unavailable, a grill pan or stovetop skillet can be used effectively.
  • For a spicier wrap, increase the cayenne pepper slightly or add a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
  • Wraps are best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
