Mediterranean Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These Mediterranean chicken lettuce wraps are healthy, refreshing and full of Mediterranean flavors! Crispy romaine lettuce is topped with grilled chicken, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes and oranges. Greek yogurt dressing is the perfect companion for this easy appetizer!
Servings: 16 Pieces
Ingredients
For the Chicken Breasts:
- 1 Large Chicken Breast
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Dried Rosemary
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Medium Lemon
For the Greek Yogurt Dressing:
- 5 tbsp Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley , chopped
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice , freshly Squeezed
For the Lettuce Wraps:
- 1 Large Orange
- 5-6 Sun-Dried Tomatoes , drained
- 3 Baby Romaine Lettuce Heads
- 8 Artichoke Hearts , drained
- 1 Spring Onion
Instructions
- Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper and the herbs. Pour some olive oil onto a skillet or frying pan and cook on both sides until it’s cooked through.
- Cut the artichoke hearts in halves and place them the cut side onto the same skillet/frying pan or grill pan. Add lemon juice to the pan. Cook the artichokes until they are nice and brown.
- Meanwhile prepare the yogurt dressing: Combine the yogurt, chopped parsley, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl and mix with a spoon until combined.
- Peel the orange, cut into segments and then into small pieces. Slice the sun-dried tomatoes. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Cut the spring onion.
- Arrange all the ingredients (including grilled and sliced chicken breast and artichokes) inside the leaves and drizzle over the yogurt dressing.
Notes
- The cooking time for chicken breast might vary depending on its size and thickness.
- Baby romaine lettuce can be substituted with butter lettuce.
- Turn these wraps into a quick salad and pour the dressing over instead of topping the leaves individually!
- The amount of dressing is enough for 16 small lettuce wraps (when spooning it over). However, if you want to use it as a dip, I suggest doubling the amounts.
