Crispy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside—these pressed chicken pockets are loaded with tender shredded chicken, zesty Greek yogurt-jalapeño filling, fresh herbs, and a hint of heat. Grilled in a wrap until golden and melty, they’re made to be meal-prepped, handheld, and devoured.
High in protein and loaded with flavor, this wrap is powered by Greek yogurt, lean chicken breast, and vibrant cilantro. The herby tortilla adds a savory twist, and using a sandwich press keeps it crispy without the need for excess oil.
