This simple chicken veggie wrap with hummus is so delicious and flavorful! Layered with hummus, chopped chicken, fresh veggies, and feta cheese! They’re perfect for a simple lunch or dinner.

 

Summer will be here soon, and so will fresh veggies straight from your garden or a farmer’s market. This makes it a perfect time to use whatever veggies you have on hand to make this easy-to-prepare and tasty Chicken Veggie Wrap with Hummus recipe.

Filled with satisfying protein from the chicken and gut-friendly fiber from the veggies, this wrap is perfect for lunch, is super filling, and has only 346 calories. You’re in for a treat if you’ve never considered using hummus as a sandwich spread. Choose a hummus flavor you like best, as it’s ideal as a low-fat substitute for traditional mayonnaise. The fat found in hummus is a mixture of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, both healthy types of fats. Choosing hummus to replace mayonnaise is a better way to support lowering bad cholesterol levels while increasing good cholesterol levels.

I guarantee this recipe will help solve your “What should I make for lunch?” dilemma in the tastiest way. This wrap is filled with nutrient-loaded fresh veggies and is easily adaptable for using whatever veggies you like best. Keep in mind you can add or delete any ingredient to fit your tastebuds!  For instance, if you like things “hot,” add a few dashes of Chipotle hot pepper sauce, or use a different type of cheese instead of feta, or use flatbread instead of a tortilla wrap. Be creative and adventurous when cooking. You can also consider cutting them into bite-sized pieces for an appetizer tray. The possibilities are endless…try it out soon!
