Yield: 6 Servings

Prep Time: 1 10

Cook Time: 15

Total Time: 1 25

Ingredients

Chicken + Wraps:

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press for 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest, from 1 to 2 lemons
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 to 3 cups spring lettuce mix or baby spinach
Sliced tomatoes
6 flatbread or pita bread wraps (see note)

Spicy Garlic Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha/hot sauce, more or less to taste
Squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a couple teaspoons
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press for 1 teaspoon
½ teaspoon salt
Pinch black pepper

Instructions

For the chicken, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, oregano, cumin, paprika, and pepper.
Place the chicken in a shallow dish or Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
For the garlic sauce, whisk together all the ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers and grill for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
To serve, place greens down the center of each wrap, followed by slices of tomato, grilled chicken and a spoonful of spicy garlic sauce.

Notes

Flatbread: here is my favorite homemade version. Storebought flatbread or pita's also work great here!

Garlic: if you're a garlic lover, feel free to step it up and add more garlic to both the marinade and the sauce.
