Ingredients
Lemon Chicken
-
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
-
Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Herbed Yogurt Sauce
-
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint
-
1–2 teaspoons lemon juice
-
Pinch of salt and pepper
Wraps
-
2 large tortillas or flatbreads
-
1 cup mixed greens
-
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
-
Optional: sliced tomatoes, shredded carrots, feta cheese
Instructions
-
Marinate the chicken
In a bowl, mix lemon juice, zest, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss well. Let marinate at least 20 minutes (up to 3 hours refrigerated). -
Cook
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips in a single layer for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Rest 2 minutes. -
Make the sauce
Stir yogurt, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust to taste. -
Warm the wraps
Heat briefly in a dry pan or microwave until soft and flexible. -
Assemble
Spread yogurt sauce down the center. Add greens, cucumber, and chicken. Add any extras you like. -
Wrap and serve
Fold sides in, roll tightly, slice in half, and enjoy.
Notes
-
Zest the lemon first, then juice it.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan — it helps the chicken brown instead of steam.
-
Slice chicken evenly so it cooks at the same speed.
-
Let hot chicken cool slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy bread.
-
Make it meal-prep friendly: store chicken and sauce separately and assemble fresh.
