Get Me To The Greek, Chicken Rosemary Wraps

I was on a walk this weekend and passed by a ginormous rosemary bush. I stopped to smell the fresh herb, nearly missing a rogue bee to-the-face, but I managed to get a sprig & carried along… Remembering I had the fresh smelling bunch, what could be a better ingredient to use in tonight’s meal!

Love tzatziki sauce? I do. Love easy & quick weeknight meals? Well, duh! It can’t be much easier than my healthy take on Greek Chicken Wraps. I’m making mine with our fresh rosemary pick & baking some chicken fillets with other herbs & balsamic. In light herb flatbread, I wrap the chicken with fresh spinach, red onion, brown rice & ample amounts of the yogurt-based, tzatziki sauce. Incredibly flavorful, but also healthy (insert small pat on the back here). The tzatziki itself is a strained Greek yogurt-based dip, which is made with fresh chopped cucumber, dill, garlic & lemon. It adds a cool, fresh, creamy aspect to our chicken. We’re even going to bust-out the good garlic-infused EVOO and CA aged balsamic from We Olive…makes a mean marinade.
