Ingredients
1 Carb Savvy tortilla OR 1/2 lavash bread
1.5 oz cooked chicken breast, sliced
1 tablespoon Kalamata olives (7g)
1/4 cup fat-free feta cheese
2 tablespoons spicy hummus dip (50 calories per serving)
2 tablespoons low-fat Italian dressing (Bolthouse Farms or Skinny Girl are great options)
1/2 Persian cucumber, julienned (or a bit of English cucumber, if needed)
Instructions
Cook the Chicken (if necessary): If you need to cook your chicken before assembling your wrap, season the chicken with salt and black pepper (or a seasoning blend, if you’d like). Drizzle with a little olive oil and roast in the oven or air fry until the chicken is cooked through and hits 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. You can also use leftover or rotisserie chicken to make this wrap even quicker to assemble!
Toss the Chicken with Dressing: In a small bowl, toss the cooked, sliced chicken with the low-fat Italian dressing. You could also use a low-fat Greek dressing if you’d prefer.
Build Your Wrap: Place your tortilla or lavash on a cutting board, or another clean, flat surface. Spread the spicy hummus on the wrap. Then, arrange the chicken on top of the hummus. Layer on the cucumber and sprinkle with the olives and a bit of feta cheese. If you’d like, you can add additional vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, red onion, or roasted red peppers. You could also add some fresh dill or other fresh herbs and some tzatziki or other creamy sauce.
Roll Up the Wrap: If you’re using the lavash, simply roll up the wrap and serve. If you’re using a tortilla, fold in the sides and roll it up and serve. Enjoy!

Swaps & Substitutions
Amp up the Spice: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or a drizzle of hot honey. Use a spicier hummus or add a few slices of jalapeño.
Make it Vegetarian: Instead of using chicken, try roasting some chickpeas or swapping in falafel pieces for a veggie version that’s still high-protein and delicious.
Make it Crunchy: Although the cucumbers will add some crunch, you can add more texture by sprinkling in some sliced red onion, julienned carrots, or even some crunchy roasted garbanzo beans (chickpeas).
Make it Creamy: Add a creamy tzatziki sauce or homemade yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
