Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Grilled Chicken Wrap

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture.
3. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
4. While the chicken rests, prepare your tortillas. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over each tortilla.
5. Layer the leafy greens, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cream cheese.
6. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place it evenly over the vegetables.
7. If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
8. Wrap tightly, folding in the sides, and then rolling from the bottom up. Slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your grill is hot before adding the chicken for perfect grill marks.
• Allow the chicken to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
• Feel free to experiment with different spreads like hummus or avocado for a twist.
• Add some shredded cheese for extra flavor and richness.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add roasted red peppers or bell peppers for a sweet crunch.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrients.
• Incorporate different greens like arugula or kale for a peppery flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Crispy sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
• A light soup, such as tomato basil or vegetable, for a comforting pair.
• Chips and salsa for a fun, snacky side.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap and warm in a microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through, but be aware that the tortilla may lose some of its texture.
