Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 6 ounces) boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece whole grain wrap or tortilla
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 cup (sliced) red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup (sliced) cucumber
• 0.5 piece (sliced) avocado
• 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to prepare the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for the best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

While the chicken is resting, prepare the Greek yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.

Step 7

Once the chicken has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

Step 8

To assemble the wrap, lay the whole grain tortilla flat. Spread the Greek yogurt sauce evenly over the tortilla.

Step 9

Layer the baby spinach, sliced red bell pepper, sliced cucumber, and sliced avocado in the center of the wrap.

Step 10

Top with the sliced grilled chicken.

Step 11

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it into a wrap. Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
