Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

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

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Romaine or butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Optional: Slices of avocado or radishes for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced chicken breasts. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the chicken to cool slightly in a bowl.

    Prepare the Creamy Dill Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Add in the chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Incorporate Chicken into Sauce: Once the chicken has cooled to a warm temperature, add it to the bowl with the creamy dill sauce. Gently fold the chicken into the sauce until every piece is evenly coated.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take a large leaf of lettuce and place a generous spoonful of the creamy dill chicken mixture in the center. Top with a sprinkle of diced red onion, cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes for added freshness and crunch.

          Garnish (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor and texture, you may choose to add slices of creamy avocado or crispy radishes on top of the chicken mixture.

            Serve: Carefully roll or fold the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a tasty wrap. Serve immediately for the best flavor and enjoy this refreshing dish!
