Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 2 cup baby spinach or romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
1. Season the Chicken: Begin by rubbing the chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then gently toss to coat.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas and spread 2 tablespoon of hummus on each one. Add a handful of spinach or romaine lettuce down the center of each tortilla.
5. Add the Fillings: Top the greens with the sliced, seasoned chicken and the vegetable mixture, dividing the ingredients evenly among the wraps.
6. Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose all the delicious fillings.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice each Mediterranean Chicken Wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
To enhance the flavor of your chicken, consider marinating it in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. This helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with even more Mediterranean flair.
