Butter Chicken Wrap (Low-Calorie)
Grilled chicken breast simmered in a lightened tomato-yogurt sauce with garam masala and a small measure of cream, tucked into a whole-wheat tortilla with cucumber and cilantro. The cooking method trims fat while keeping the smoky, tangy, mildly spiced character of classic butter chicken.
