Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 pieces whole wheat flatbreads
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.5 cup, crumbled low-fat feta cheese
- 1 cup hummus
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh basil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess.
Grill the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the flatbreads. Spread a thin layer of hummus over each flatbread.
Slice the grilled chicken thinly and evenly distribute the slices over the hummus on each flatbread.
Top with fresh spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and crumbled feta cheese.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the top for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy their heart-healthy creation. Alternatively, you can place the flatbreads back on the grill for 1-2 minutes to slightly warm the toppings.
