Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 120 ml plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 6 whole wheat wraps
- 1 fresh cucumber
- 2 fresh tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 50 g fresh parsley
- 100 g feta cheese
- 180 g hummus
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken strips in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Turn pieces occasionally for even cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into thin rounds. Chop the fresh parsley.
Once the chicken is done, warm the whole wheat wraps in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus on each wrap.
Place a portion of cooked chicken strips on top of the hummus layer on each wrap.
Top with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
Roll the wrap tightly, securing with a toothpick if needed to hold it together.
Serve warm and enjoy your high protein chicken shawarma wraps!
