Grilled Wrap, Grilled Chicken Recipe

Prepare and marinate chicken

If chicken breasts are thick, butterfly or pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add chicken, coating both sides. Marinate 15–30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated.

Preheat grill

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F / 200°C). Oil the grates or brush the chicken lightly with additional oil to prevent sticking.

Grill chicken

Place chicken on the hot grill. Cook 4–6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and exterior has nice grill marks. Remove to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.

Make the sauce

While the chicken rests, whisk together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbs mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and optional 1 tsp hot sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate until assembly.

Prepare vegetables and cheese

Wash and shred romaine; thinly slice tomato, red onion and cucumber. Grate or measure shredded cheese and set all components within reach for assembly.

Warm tortillas

Warm tortillas 15–20 seconds per side in a dry skillet or microwave 20 seconds covered with a damp paper towel until flexible.

Assemble wraps

Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spread about 1.5–2 tbs of the yogurt sauce down the center. Layer 1 cup shredded romaine, a few tomato slices, a few cucumber slices, some red onion, 1/4 cup shredded cheese and a generous portion (about 4 oz) of sliced grilled chicken.

Fold and toast (optional)

Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. If you prefer a warm, slightly crisp exterior, heat 1 tsp oil or melt 1 tbs butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place seam-side down and press gently; cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden and the seam seals. Cut on the diagonal.

Serve

Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side and lemon wedges if desired.
