Ingredients

For grilled chicken:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Dressing:

  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3-4 anchovy fillets minced, optional
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the wraps:

  • 4 whole-wheat tortillas burrito size
  • 1 head of Lettuce roughly chopped
  • 1 Large medium-ripe avocado peeled and diced
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • 1/3 cup finely shredded or shaved parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Start by preparing a dressing; whisk all the dressing ingredients to a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Place the chicken breast in a re-sealable plastic bag. Starting in the center pound with a rolling pin until the chicken is even in thickness.
  • Preheat the grill over medium-high heat to about 425F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, and lemon juice.
  • Next using your clean hands generously rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Place the chicken breast onto the preheated grill.
  • Grease the grill with a bit of oil and grill the chicken for about 5 minutes each side or until internal temperature reads 165F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, prepare veggies, tear the lettuce and dice the avocados. Cut the tomatoes in half and set aside.
  • For assembling, load the tortillas with lettuce and avocados. Add grilled chicken on top.
  • Add tomatoes and shredded cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitutes:
  • Meat: we love this with chicken but you may use any other meat of choice
  • Oil: olive oil was used, which can be replaced with any other oil like avocado oil
  • Yogurt: Greek yogurt would be ideal, but you can sub this with any other yogurt of choice or you a dairy-free option
  • Anchovy fillets: not everyone liked this, so it optional
  • Tortilla: use any low carb option tortilla
  • Serving size is one full wrap (two halves)
Storage:
  • Wrap your leftover chicken wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. It is best to consume this sooner than later to prevent it from getting soggy.  Serve cold when ready to eat. We do not recommend freezing.
