Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breast, sliced
2 Tbsp shawarma seasoning
1 cup tomato, sliced
2 cups lettuce, chopped
1 can sliced pickles
4 whole-grain pita wraps, thinInstructions
1. Over medium-heat, cook sliced chicken breast until internal temperature of 165 F is reached.
2. Evenly stir 2 tbsp shawarma seasoning in meat.

4. Layer chicken evenly over wrap. Top with ¼ cup tomato and lettuce.
5. Add few slices of pickle, fold, place a stick in the center, serve & enjoy!Nutrition Tips
Tip: Turkey and Chicken are lean protein alternatives and contains fewer calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol than beef.
Tip: Use whole-grain pita breads and wraps. Whole grains contain more vitamins, minerals and fiber than refined white breads.
Tip: Using garlic, onions, and herbs such as dill add bold flavor without the need for added sodium (salt) which is linked to higher blood pressure.
Tip: Sandwiches and wraps are a great way to sneak in a variety of veggies. Aim for 2-3 cups of vegetables per day! -
