Ingredients
  

Turmeric Chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Wrap Filling

  • 1 avocado sliced or mashed
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cucumber sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt optional
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice optional
Wrap
  • 2 low carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves

Equipment

  • Skillet or Frying Pan For cooking the turmeric chicken
  • Cutting board For slicing chicken and veggies
  • Sharp knife To slice chicken and avocado
  • Mixing Bowl (optional) If tossing chicken with seasoning
  • Tongs or Spatula For flipping the chicken

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub both sides with olive oil, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
  5. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken thinly.
  7. Slice or mash the avocado.
  8. Wash and shred the lettuce if needed.
  9. Slice the cucumber.
  10. Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice if using.
  11. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  12. Add shredded lettuce first.
  13. Top with sliced turmeric chicken.
  14. Add cucumber and avocado.
  15. Spoon yogurt sauce on top if using.
  16. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  17. Slice in half and serve.

Notes

  • Do not skip resting the chicken. It keeps the meat juicy and easier to slice.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper with turmeric for better flavor.
  • For lower carbs, swap the tortilla for large lettuce leaves.
  • Slice the avocado right before serving to prevent browning.
  • Store cooked chicken separately and assemble wraps fresh for best texture.
  • Adjust turmeric to taste. Too much can make the flavor slightly bitter.
