Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 large cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Butter lettuce leaves or Romaine lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Optional: slices of ripe avocado for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken:

    In a medium skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, making sure to season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and begins to turn golden brown.

      Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

        In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it forms a smooth and creamy dill sauce.

          Combine the Ingredients:

            Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully fold the warm chicken into the creamy dill sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.

              Prepare the Vegetables:

                In a separate medium bowl, mix together the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion. Drizzle a little olive oil over the vegetables, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are well mixed.

                  Assemble the Wraps:

                    Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous portion of the creamy dill chicken mixture into the center. Top it off with a few spoonfuls of the fresh cucumber-tomato mixture. If desired, add avocado slices for an extra layer of flavor.

                      Serve:

                        Roll the lettuce leaf like a wrap or fold it over to encase the filling. Enjoy immediately as a delightful appetizer or a refreshing light meal!
