Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or 2% works best)
- 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, minced
- 1/2 cup red grapes, halved (or dried cranberries)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas or large lettuce leaves
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: If you haven’t already, shred or dice your cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely dice the celery and red onion to ensure you get a little bit of crunch in every bite without any large chunks overpowering the flavor.
- Step 2: Mix the Creamy Dressing: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk these together until the dressing is smooth and well-incorporated. This ensures the seasoning is evenly distributed before you add the bulky ingredients.
- Step 3: Combine Ingredients: Add the prepared chicken, celery, onion, grapes, and nuts to the bowl with the yogurt dressing. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold everything together until every piece of chicken and fruit is lightly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Step 4: Season and Taste: Give the mixture a quick taste test. Adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. If you prefer a more herbaceous flavor, this is the time to fold in some chopped fresh parsley or dill.
- Step 5: Assemble the Wraps: Lay out your tortillas or lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Scoop about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of the chicken salad into the center of each. Fold in the sides and roll them up tightly. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.
