Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Wraps
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 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 Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken breasts evenly.
- Season Chicken: Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Grill Chicken: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). This ensures juicy, tender chicken with a lovely char.
- Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: While the chicken cooks, in a small bowl combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well until smooth and creamy.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Once grilled, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes to retain juices, then slice it into thin strips for easy wrapping.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cucumber slices, and red onion if desired. Add grilled chicken strips on top of the veggies.
- Add Sauce and Roll: Drizzle the garlic cream sauce generously over the chicken and vegetables. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to form a secure wrap.
- Serve or Pack: Serve the wraps immediately for best flavor or wrap tightly with foil for a convenient packed lunch or meal on the go.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in the garlic cream sauce for a lighter option.
- Feel free to add other toppings like avocado, shredded cheese, or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
- Grilling time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts; always use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembly to make rolling easier and prevent tearing.
- If grilling is not available, chicken can be cooked in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
