Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Lemon Pepper Sauce:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

For the Wraps:

4 large whole wheat tortillas
Lettuce (your choice, but spinach works wonderfully!)
Sliced tomatoes
Avocado slices (because, why not?)

Cooking Steps

Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring on the zesty flavor! In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden-brown color. (Insert happy dance here!)
Make the Lemon Pepper Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and honey in a bowl. Taste it—if it doesn’t make you grin, feel free to adjust the seasoning. Who said sauce can’t be fun?
Assemble Your Wraps: Once the chicken is finished cooking, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips. Now, lay out your tortillas and spread a generous amount of that tangy lemon pepper sauce on each. Add your sliced chicken, a handful of lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and avocado. Wrap it all up like a burrito and get ready to dig in!
Enjoy: Slice your wraps in half, serve them on a plate, and don’t forget to drizzle any extra sauce over the top. Trust me, this is going to be the highlight of your day! Remind everyone to prepare for the deliciousness and pat themselves on the back for being such stellar cooks.
