- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 large lettuce leaves
Cooking Tips:
- To make the chicken more tender, marinate it in the Greek yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Be sure to wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly before using them as the wrap.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, red onion, cucumber, tomato, parsley, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken to the bowl and stir until it is fully coated in the yogurt mixture.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it is fully cooked.
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf on a plate. Add a spoonful of the chicken mixture to the center of the leaf.
6. Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the chicken mixture, then roll it up tightly.
7. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and chicken mixture.
