Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Butter lettuce leaves or Romaine lettuce leaves for wrapping

Optional: avocado slices for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a medium skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, seasoning it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

    Make the Creamy Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you have a creamy dill sauce.

      Combine the Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, fold the cooked chicken into the creamy dill sauce until well coated.

        Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, combine the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon in a portion of the creamy dill chicken mixture. Top with the fresh cucumber-tomato mixture and, if desired, avocado slices.

            Serve: Roll the lettuce leaf like a wrap or fold it over and enjoy immediately! These wraps can be served as an appetizer or a light meal.
