Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 50 grams Kalamata olives
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 8 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion and parsley.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the mixture and stir well to combine.
Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
To assemble the wraps, place a large spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, high-protein Mediterranean lettuce wraps!
