Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup diced cucumber
– Red onion slices
– Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl or ziplock bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and make sure they are well coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to four hours in the refrigerator.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (or use an outdoor grill). Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for about five minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and have nice grill marks. Remove from grill and let rest for about five minutes before slicing into strips.
3. Assemble the wraps: Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface or plates. Divide the shredded lettuce evenly among all four wraps followed by an equal portion of diced tomatoes and cucumber. Distribute the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables. Add a few slices of red onion to taste, and drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top.
4. Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tuck in the bottom edge and roll up the wrap tightly. Slice each wrap in half, if desired, and serve with additional tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
And there you have it! The best lemon chicken wraps that are perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. With their bright, tangy flavor, they’re sure to become a favorite recipe in your household. Enjoy!
