In it, combine 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken with 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Stir well until the chicken is fully coated. Next, add 1/2 cup of finely chopped celery, 1/4 cup of diced red onion, and 1/2 cup of chopped cucumber. Toss in 1/4 cup of fresh dill or 1 teaspoon of dried dill and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix everything together until you see a nice blend. Taste the mix and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. This step is key to a balanced flavor. Now, let’s focus on the wraps. Lay out 4 large whole wheat wraps on a clean surface. If you like, add some lettuce leaves and tomato slices to each wrap for added freshness. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture into the center of each wrap. Make sure to leave space at the edges for folding. Carefully fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it from the bottom up. Tuck it tightly as you go to keep everything secure. Repeat this until all wraps are filled. To serve, cut each wrap in half diagonally. You can arrange them on a platter with extra dill sprigs for a nice touch. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or vegetable sticks for a colorful and healthy meal. Enjoy! To boost flavor, use fresh herbs like dill. Fresh herbs add a great taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice. This brightens the dish. If you want some heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can mix in chopped nuts for crunch. Walnuts or almonds work well. Try adding diced apples for a sweet twist. The sweetness pairs nicely with the yogurt. For easy shredding, start with warm chicken. It pulls apart more easily. Use two forks to shred the meat. Pull the chicken apart into small pieces. This helps it mix well with yogurt. If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, use that! It’s already cooked and adds great flavor. Make sure to remove any bones or skin before shredding. Presentation matters! Cut each wrap in half for easy eating. Place the wraps on a colorful platter. Add fresh dill sprigs for a pop of green. You can also serve with colorful vegetable sticks. Carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers work great. They add color and make the meal more fun. For a side, offer fresh fruit like grapes or berries. This adds freshness and sweetness to your plate. Pro Tips Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will enhance the flavor and texture of your chicken salad wraps. Opt for organic cucumbers and crisp lettuce for the best taste. Meal Prep Ahead: Prepare the chicken salad mixture a day ahead and store it in the fridge. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making your wraps even more delicious. Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced apples, grapes, or nuts for added crunch and flavor variation. This can give your wraps a unique twist! Wrap It Right: Make sure to fold the sides of the wrap in before rolling it up tightly. This will keep all the filling secure and prevent any spills while eating. {{image_2}} You can make this chicken salad fit many diets. If you want a low-fat option, swap the Greek yogurt for low-fat Greek yogurt. This keeps the creaminess without too many calories. For a dairy-free choice, use a plant-based yogurt. It will still taste great. If you're gluten-free, use lettuce leaves instead of wraps. This gives you a fresh crunch. Want to add more crunch? Here are some fun ideas! You can toss in chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. They give a nice texture. Try adding roasted chickpeas for a tasty twist. You can also use radishes or bell peppers for extra color and crunch. Add a little zest with some chopped apples or grapes for a sweet touch. Wraps don’t have to be plain. You can use spinach or tomato tortillas for a pop of color. Try using pita bread for a fun twist. You can even make mini wraps with smaller tortillas for snacks. If you prefer, use nori sheets for a sushi-style wrap. Each option brings new flavors and makes the meal exciting! To keep leftover chicken salad wraps fresh, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. You can also store them in an airtight container. This helps to keep them from drying out. Store the wraps in the fridge for up to three days. If you notice any change in smell or texture, it’s best to throw them out. You can freeze the chicken salad mixture for future meals. Place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. The mixture can be frozen for up to three months. However, I recommend not freezing the wraps themselves. The texture of the wrap may change when thawed. When you are ready to eat the chicken salad, thaw it in the fridge overnight. After thawing, mix it again to restore the texture. If you want to eat it warm, place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Make sure it is heated evenly. Enjoy your chicken salad either cold or warm! Yes, you can use canned chicken. It saves time and is easy to use. Just drain the chicken well and shred it. This will give you a quick option for a busy day. Canned chicken works well, but fresh chicken adds more flavor. Greek yogurt chicken salad lasts about 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container. This helps keep it fresh and tasty. Always check for any off smell or change in texture before eating. If it looks or smells odd, toss it out. You can serve the wraps with fresh fruit or veggie sticks. A side salad with greens is also great. Chips or whole grain crackers add a nice crunch. For drinks, try lemonade or iced tea.
