Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 breasts for a family-size portion; adjust as needed.
  • Greek Yogurt: This adds creaminess without the guilt; opt for plain unsweetened yogurt.
  • Fresh Vegetables: Consider using crunchy celery and colorful bell peppers for added texture.
  • Wraps or Tortillas: Choose whole wheat or spinach wraps for extra nutrients; they add great flavor too.
  • Dijon Mustard: A spoonful of this adds a tangy kick that’s hard to resist.
  • Herbs (Parsley or Dill): Fresh herbs brighten up the dish; they’re a must-have

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Cook the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before placing them in a baking dish.

Prepare the Filling: While the chicken cooks—about 20-25 minutes—chop your veggies finely. Mix them in a bowl with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Shred the Chicken: Once cooked through (the internal temperature should be 165°F), let the chicken rest briefly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

Combine Ingredients: Fold shredded chicken into your yogurt mixture until everything is well combined. The colors should brighten up beautifully

Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat. Spoon generous amounts of your filling onto one side and fold it over snugly. Roll it tightly like you’re wrapping up a gift.

Slice & Serve!: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately or pack them up for lunch later. They taste amazing fresh but are also great chilled
