🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
We’ll break this recipe into three parts: the Green Goddess Dressing, the grilled chicken, and the wrap assembly.
🌱 For the Creamy Green Goddess Dressing (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 cup fresh parsley, packed (flat-leaf preferred)
- ½ cup fresh chives, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup fresh tarragon leaves (or 2 tbsp dried)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat, thick)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (full-fat recommended)
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp anchovy paste or 2 fillets, minced (optional, adds umami depth)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for richness & smoother texture)
💡 Ingredient Note: If you can’t find tarragon, substitute with dill or extra parsley. Anchovies can be swapped with ½ tsp miso paste or capers for a vegetarian-friendly depth of flavor.
🍗 For the Grilled Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2–3 large)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
🌯 For the Wrap Assembly
- 4–6 large tortillas (10–12 inch; flour, whole wheat, or spinach)
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced into rounds or half-moons
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
- 1 cup fresh sprouts (optional, for crunch)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Green Goddess Dressing
- In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, chives, tarragon, and garlic. Pulse to chop.
- Add yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, anchovy paste, and Dijon. Blend until smooth.
- Adjust thickness with olive oil or water if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using for best flavor.
2. Grill the Chicken
- Pound chicken to even thickness (¾ inch) or butterfly if very thick.
- Mix olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken.
- Grill over medium-high heat (400–450°F) for 5–7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly.
3. Assemble the Wraps
- Warm tortillas for pliability.
- Spread 2–3 tbsp of Green Goddess dressing in the center.
- Add romaine, sliced chicken, cucumber, avocado, red onion, and sprouts.
- Optionally drizzle extra dressing.
- Fold sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Slice diagonally for serving.
👉 Pro Tip: For restaurant-style presentation, sear the finished wrap on the grill for 1–2 minutes per side to create golden grill marks.
