Description
The ultimate healthy lunch prep! This creamy chicken salad ditches mayo for Greek yogurt, bright lemon juice, and sweet grapes. Quick shredding and mixing is all it takes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup red grapes, halved
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Shred the cooked chicken breast and place it into a medium mixing bowl. Dice the celery finely and halve the red grapes, adding them to the bowl along with the crumbled feta cheese.
- Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Season the dressing generously with salt and black pepper.
- Step 3: Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently using a spatula until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Step 4: Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken salad mixture across the center, leaving a margin on all sides. Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom edge.
- Step 5: Cut the finished wrap in half diagonally. Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas. Store the wraps securely wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for easy, grab-and-go lunches.
Notes
- To prevent the tortillas from getting soggy, store the prepared chicken salad mixture separately and assemble the wraps only right before serving or packing.
- Since this is a delicious, fresh lunch, skip the microwave entirely; enjoy these wraps straight from the fridge as they are best served chilled.
- For a gluten-free twist, try serving the chicken salad scooped onto butter lettuce cups or spread onto hearty whole-grain crackers instead of tortillas.
- Ensure your grapes are very cold before mixing; the chill helps the sweetness pop against the savory feta and tang of the Greek yogurt dressing.
