Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

One 6-pound whole fryer chicken
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 cloves garlic, smashed
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon, cut in quarters
3/4 cup 2-percent Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup mayo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 celery ribs, diced
1 small red onion, minced
2 lemons, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
One 6-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Four 12-inch whole wheat tortillas
1 pint broccoli sprouts
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust a rack to the middle position.
  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack, or in a roasting pan with a rack, and drizzle the chicken with olive oil. Generously sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Pack the cavity with the garlic, thyme and lemons. Place the chicken breast-side down on the rack.
  • Roast the chicken for the first hour at 400 degrees F, and then turn up the heat to 450 degrees F and roast until the breast temperature registers 160 degrees F and the skin is a golden brown, for the last 30 to 45 minutes. Then set the chicken aside to rest and cool.
  • When easy to handle, remove the legs, wings and any dark meat, reserving to eat for your next meal or to snack on immediately.
  • Remove the skin from the breast meat. Using your hands, shred the breast meat and place in a bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • For the salad: Mix together the yogurt, mayo, mustard, walnuts, cranberries, celery, onions, lemon zest and juice, tarragon and water chestnuts and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Fold in the shredded chicken.
  • For the sandwich build: Layer the whole wheat wraps with some broccoli sprouts and tomato slices and then top with the chicken salad. Wrap and enjoy!
