Ingredients

Tzatziki:

  • 1 cup reduced fat Greek yoghurt
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 sprig dill, chopped
  • Cracked black pepper

Wrap:

  • 1 piece of wholemeal or wholegrain flat bread OR 2 slices of wholemeal multigrain bread OR 1 wholemeal multigrain roll
  • 80g skinless chicken breast, cooked, sliced
  • ¼ avocado
  • ¼ cup rocket leaves
  • ½ carrot, grated
  • ¼ cucumber, sliced
  • 5 sundried tomatoes

Method

  1. Make the yoghurt dressing by placing the yoghurt, Lebanese cucumber, garlic and dill in a bowl. Stir to combine and season with pepper.
  2. Place the bread, roll or wrap on a flat surface and spread 2 tablespoons of the yoghurt mixture on one side.
  3. Add the chicken and remaining ingredients, and serve.
  • If using a wrap, roll it up tightly to ensure ingredients don’t fall out.
  • If making a sandwich or roll, top with the other piece of bread or the other half of the roll, then cut in half to serve.

Notes

  • The meat in this recipe can be varied to suit your personal taste for a protein source. Try tuna, turkey and lentils or two boiled eggs as alternatives.
  • Wholegrain bread is low GI and high in fibre. Foods that are low GI provide longer lasting energy, and keeping you feeling fuller for longer.
  • Creamed cheese, pesto or hummus can be used as alternative healthy spreads to the yoghurt dressing.
