Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
Seasonings and Dressing:
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Wrap:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch / 20 centimeters)
Instructions
- Infuse the chicken with a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, allowing the flavors to meld for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Fire up the grill to a searing 375°F, ensuring even heat distribution for optimal cooking.
- Carefully place marinated chicken on the grill, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side until the meat reaches a perfect golden-brown exterior and is thoroughly cooked with no pink remaining.
- Transfer grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 3-4 minutes to retain its juicy tenderness.
- Slice the chicken into thin, precise strips against the grain to maximize texture and flavor.
- Spread out fresh tortillas on a clean surface, creating a canvas for your wrap.
- Layer crisp lettuce as the foundation, followed by the meticulously sliced grilled chicken.
- Sprinkle vibrant diced tomatoes and cool, crunchy cucumber slices across the chicken.
- Drizzle ranch dressing generously to add a creamy, tangy dimension to the wrap.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up, creating a tight, compact wrap.
- Slice diagonally in half for an elegant presentation and easier handling.
Notes
- Customize marinades by swapping olive oil with Greek yogurt for extra protein and tanginess.
- Choose whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to accommodate different dietary needs and boost nutritional value.
- Grill vegetables alongside chicken to enhance flavor and reduce additional prep time.
- Swap ranch dressing with Greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter, protein-packed alternative that cuts calories without sacrificing taste.
