Bold, smoky chicken wrapped in a soft low-carb tortilla with a creamy, spicy sauce.

The golden, spice-coated chicken stands out against crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and a bright drizzle of sauce.
They look polished on the plate but are still simple enough for everyday quick lunch.

If you are tired of eating your chicken the same ways over and over, this will take it up a notch.
You can still have that exciting flavourful experience but still fit your low-carb, high-protein goals.

Ingredients You Need
- Chicken Breast (600g, cut into strips)
- Garlic Cloves (3–4 cloves)
- Oregano (1 tbsp)
- Paprika (1 tbsp)
- Onion Powder (1 tsp)
- Chilli Flakes (1 tsp)
- Salt & Pepper (1 tsp total)
- Lemon Juice (from 1 lemon)
- Low Calorie Tortilla Wraps (Mission brand)
- Shredded Lettuce
- Chopped Red Onion & Tomato
Spice Sauce

- Fat Free Yogurt (100g)
- Sriracha (20g)
- Garlic Clove (1, minced)
- Fresh Parsley
- Salt & Pepper (½ tsp)
- Lemon Juice
Step-by-Step Directions

Place the chicken strips into a large bowl. Add the garlic, oregano, paprika, onion powder, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Toss thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated and slightly glossy from the seasoning. Every piece should be well covered.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for at least 1–2 minutes. The pan should be hot before adding the chicken. This is critical for browning and flavor development.
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this will cause the chicken to release moisture and steam instead of searing.
Cook the chicken for 8–10 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes. The outside should develop light browning, while the inside stays juicy. The chicken should feel firm to the touch and no longer be pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 2–3 minutes. This helps retain moisture and prevents dryness.
While the chicken rests, prepare the spice sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, sriracha, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. The sauce should be thick but spoonable.
Warm the low carb wraps according to the package instructions. This step prevents cracking and allows the wraps to roll tightly.
Assemble each wrap by adding shredded lettuce down the center, followed by chicken, red onion, and tomato. Spoon the spice sauce evenly over the filling.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling snug. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for Success
- Always warm the wraps. Skipping this step will cause tearing, I learned this the hard way.
- Keep the sauce thick. Too much lemon juice will make it runny and soggy.
- Use medium-high heat for the chicken. Low heat results in pale, bland meat.
- Let the chicken rest briefly after cooking to keep it juicy.
- If meal prepping, store sauce separately for best texture.
