Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Vegetables
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced (optional)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
For the Garlic Cream Sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat to ensure it is hot enough to sear the chicken properly without sticking.
- Season Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: While the chicken cooks, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well blended.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then slice it into thin strips for easier wrapping.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and red onion if using.
- Add Chicken and Sauce: Place several chicken strips on top of the vegetables, then drizzle a generous amount of garlic cream sauce over the chicken for creamy flavor.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to secure all fillings inside, forming a neat wrap.
- Serve: Serve immediately for best freshness, or wrap the finished wraps in foil to pack for lunch or later consumption.
Notes
- Optional vegetables like cucumber and red onion add a refreshing crunch but can be omitted or replaced depending on preference.
- The garlic cream sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to save time.
- To make this recipe gluten free, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to prevent foodborne illness.
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayonnaise in the sauce.
