2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 large lettuce leaves
8 large tortillas (your choice of flour or whole wheat)
Preparation Process:
1. Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it.
2. Make the Dressing:
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
3. Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out a lettuce leaf on a clean surface.
Place a tortilla on top of the lettuce leaf.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the tortilla.
Roll up the tortilla tightly, using the lettuce leaf to help contain the filling.
Total Time: Approximately 45 minutes
