A chicken salad wrap is a refreshing lunchtime option that is easy to make and perfect to pack for a picnic. But the best part? They can be super healthy!

Just because the old-fashioned diner serves their chicken salad with gobs of mayo on a honking roll doesn’t mean that you need to. So how can you customize it to keep the taste and lose the calories? Easy. Just replace the mayo with non-fat greek yogurt, go easy on the salt, and substitute bread for lettuce. It has healthy fat, protein, vegetables, and fruit. Here is our healthy chicken salad wrap recipe:

The Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 3 green onions
  • 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup diced walnuts
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 tomato
  • 1/3 cup grapes
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce with large leafs
  • salt, pepper, and paprika to taste

The Process:

  • Grill 2 chicken breasts. They can be baked in the oven or on the stovetop if necessary. Let chicken cool.
  • Chop the green onion, grapes, and tomatoes. Place into large mixing bowl.
