Prepare the Chicken.
If your chicken breast is not already grilled, start by seasoning it lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast for about 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or chop into bite-sized pieces.
Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. -
Prepare the Vegetables.
Wash the lettuce thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Wash the tomato and slice or dice half of a medium tomato.
Tip: Drying the lettuce well helps prevent the wrap from becoming soggy. -
Mix the Chicken Salad.
In a medium bowl, combine the grilled chicken pieces, chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and 1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise. Mix everything gently until the ingredients are well coated with the mayonnaise.
Tip: If you prefer, add a pinch of black pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. -
Warm the Tortilla.
To make the tortilla more pliable and easier to roll, warm it in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave it for 10-15 seconds.
Tip: Warming the tortilla prevents cracking when you roll the wrap. -
Assemble the Wrap.
Place the warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap.
Tip: Don’t overfill the wrap to avoid tearing the tortilla. -
Serve.
Cut the wrap in half diagonally if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and tasty chicken salad wrap!
Tip: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for a complete meal.
