Flavourful grilled chicken and yogurt sauce wraps- easy, healthy and so delicious! This chicken wraps recipe is made with chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and fresh yogurt sauce!
Ramadan just begins and while the holy month is a perfect time for spiritual reflection, this also the busiest time in the kitchen. During this holy month, we usually spend time and shares meal with friends and family during the iftar and suhoor. Doing the meal prep for a family member and guest on an empty stomach definitely is not an easy task. That’s why meal planning and food preparation before Ramadan start is important. 
I like to marinated chicken or meat and freeze them for an easy suhoor (pre-dawn meal) or quick dinner. This yogurt chicken wrap recipe is absolutely perfect for suhoor or even quick lunches.
I love that I can make the grilled chicken ahead, put it in a container and store it in the refrigerator. There are two alternatives for preparing this yogurt chicken wrap, sometimes I pre-cooked then keep it in the refrigerator, I just reheat the chicken and wrap it with other ingredients when I want to eat it. Or I marinade the chicken with yogurt and spices and freeze it for later use.
