Ingredients
  

For the Mediterranean Chicken:
  • - 1 lb 450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • - 1 tbsp fresh lime juice or lemon juice
  • - 1 tsp dried oregano
  • - ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • - ½ tsp garlic powder
  • - ½ tsp cumin
  • - ½ tsp sea salt & cracked black pepper
For the Wraps & Fresh Veggies:
  • - 1 head Butter lettuce or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated and dried
  • - 1 large ripe avocado sliced or diced
  • - ½ cup sweet corn fresh or charred in skillet
  • - ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • - 1 small English cucumber diced
  • - ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • - Fresh cilantro leaves & lime wedges for garnish
For the Creamy Garlic-Herb Yogurt Sauce:
  • - ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • - ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves or flat-leaf parsley
  • - 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • - 1 clove garlic minced
  • - 1 tsp honey or raw agave
  • - Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss cubed chicken with olive oil, lime juice, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (165°F / 74°C). (Optional: Flash-char corn in the pan for 2 minutes).
  3. Blend Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor until smooth.
  4. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter. Divide cooked chicken, avocado, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion evenly into each leaf cup.
  5. Drizzle generously with the creamy green sauce and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

- Meal Prep: Keep cooked chicken, fresh chopped veggies, lettuce leaves, and yogurt dressing in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days. Assemble right before serving.
- Structural Integrity: Double up butter lettuce leaves to prevent tearing.
