Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Chicken breast
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Pita breads
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Slice the chicken breasts thinly into strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and add them to the marinade. Toss the chicken until each piece is well-coated.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
5. Spread the marinated chicken pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown around the edges, flipping halfway through.
7. While the chicken is baking, prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomato, cucumber, and red onion thinly.
8. Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until slightly toasted.
9. To assemble the doner, place a warm pita on a plate, layer it with sliced chicken, and top with tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
10. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of your favorite condiment such as low-fat tzatziki or hummus.
