Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked, shredded or diced chicken breast

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt or light mayo
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 high-fiber or low-carb whole wheat wraps (8-inch)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt or light mayo with minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

2. Assemble the Filling
In a separate bowl, combine cooked chicken with the garlic sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated.

4. Cook the Wraps
Fold the wraps like burritos. Lightly spray a non-stick skillet and heat over medium. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.

5. Serve
Slice in half and serve warm with a light salad, veggie sticks, or a side of fruit.
