Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

Garlic Sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)

Wraps

  • 4 soft flour or whole wheat tortillas

Optional Add-ons

  • 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • Chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)
  • Avocado or cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
  • Shredded carrots and soy sauce (for Asian flair)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, then season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Greek yogurt or sour cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss with the creamy garlic sauce until the chicken is well coated. If desired, sprinkle in fresh herbs and grated cheese, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Layer each tortilla with fresh spinach or lettuce, then spoon the creamy garlic chicken mixture over the greens. Roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately while warm and fresh. Add your favorite garnishes such as chopped parsley, cilantro, a squeeze of lemon juice, or hot sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; avoid garlic powder.
  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy; cook just until no longer pink.
  • Lightly toast tortillas to add texture and prevent sogginess.
  • Make garlic sauce ahead to speed up assembly.
  • Add extra crunch by including veggies like cucumber or bell peppers.
