Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
Instructions
Begin by slicing the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber and tomato into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and ground cumin to create the yogurt sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
To assemble the wraps, lay each piece of pita bread flat and spread a generous tablespoon of yogurt sauce down the center. Layer with cooked chicken, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Drizzle more yogurt sauce over the top, if desired, and roll the pita bread tightly around the filling to form a wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious chicken pita wraps!
