Servings: 4
Equipment
- heavy bottomed skillet
- sharp knife
Ingredients
Marinated Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs. Rotisserie will also work.
- 1 lemon, squeezed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian Seasoning Blend (dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Mediterranean Wraps
- 4-6 large tortillas
- 1 cup hummus
- ¼ cup cucumber, sliced
- ¼ cup tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup romaine, shredded
- ¼ cup feta
- ¼ cup olives, chopped kalamata or green olives.
- 1 bell pepper, sliced and sautéed
- ½ red onion, sliced and sautéed
Instructions
Marinated Chicken
- If you are using rotisserie chicken, skip this step. In a large bowl, slice breasts in half and add all the marinade ingredients. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes (if you have the time). In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil on medium/high head. Add the marinated chicken.
- Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on each side. I like to flip it a few times throughout the cooking process. Cook until the internal temp reaches 165ºF. Once chicken is cooked through, transfer to a plate and add peppers and onions to the same skillet.
Sautéed Peppers and Onions
- Add Peppers and onions to the same skillet chicken was in, or use a fresh skillet. Add 1 tsp of oil and sauté them down until sweating and soft (about 5 minutes). Season with a pinch of salt.
Mediterranean Wraps
- Assemble the wraps! I toast my tortillas for 45 seconds on the stove, this is optional. Start with spreading the hummus and then add all the toppings to the wrap. Fold the bottom up halfway, fold in the sides and poke with a toothpick to keep it closed.
- Serve with sriracha and extra hummus is desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Please note cooking time will be less if using rotisserie chicken. I prefer the citrusy, marinated chicken :) but both are wonderful.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Be sure to check the internal temp gets to 165º F. Use chicken thighs for the ultimate juice chicken.
- Marinate chicken if you have time. If you have some extra time, I highly recommend you marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
- Cut back on time. Use rotisserie chicken and preprepared hummus to cut down half the time
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 2 months (keep the tomatoes and cucumber off for freshness)
