Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Wraps
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Vegetables
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced (optional)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Garlic Cream Sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken, ensuring a nice sear and even cooking.
- Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the meat is cooked through.
- Prepare the garlic cream sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
- Rest and slice chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice into thin strips for assembling the wraps.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a surface, then add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cucumber slices, and red onion if using.
- Add chicken and sauce: Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the vegetables, then drizzle generously with the prepared garlic cream sauce.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling securely.
- Serve: Enjoy the wraps immediately or wrap them in foil to take for lunch or on the go.
Notes
- The garlic cream sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a lower-fat option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use light mayonnaise.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables or add cheese for extra flavor.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking when rolling.
