Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 cup Brown rice, cooked
• 4 pieces Spinach tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece Cucumber, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and rub it in evenly.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.

Step 3

Cook the chicken for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they're fully cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 5

Assemble the wraps by laying out a spinach tortilla. In the center of the tortilla, place a quarter cup of cooked brown rice.

Step 6

Add an equal portion of chicken slices, followed by a handful of baby spinach, and evenly distribute slices of red bell pepper and cucumber over the top.

Step 7

Drizzle half a tablespoon of lemon juice over the ingredients in each wrap for a fresh zing.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for a quick, healthy meal option.
