# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook in a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through. This is the core of your High-Protein Wraps: Easy & Healthy Recipes.
02 -
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks or dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. This prepares the lean protein perfectly for your High-Protein Wraps: Easy & Healthy Recipes.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well until combined and set aside.
04 -
Wash and prepare your crisp veggie medley. Shred 1/2 cup carrots, thinly slice 1/2 cup cucumber, and dice 1/2 cup red bell pepper. Ensure 4 large romaine lettuce leaves are clean and ready for wrapping.
05 -
Lightly warm 4 large low-carb tortillas (8-inch diameter) in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side, or microwave briefly. This makes them pliable and easy to roll for your High-Protein Wraps: Easy & Healthy Recipes.
06 -
Lay out a warmed tortilla. Spread a generous spoonful of the tangy yogurt dressing down the center. Top with shredded chicken, a few romaine lettuce leaves, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and diced red bell pepper.
07 -
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half if desired for easier handling. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious High-Protein Wraps: Easy & Healthy Recipes!
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, swap chicken breast for 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas, mashed and seasoned similarly, or use firm tofu.
02 -
Store leftover shredded chicken and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Assemble wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess.
03 -
These wraps are fantastic for meal prep! Portion out ingredients into separate containers and assemble fresh for lunch or a quick dinner.
04 -
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or dressing for a subtle kick, or a squeeze of sriracha to the yogurt dressing for extra heat.
