Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 Red onion
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 1 Tomato
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill pan or regular pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken strips in batches (if necessary) on the hot pan for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red onion, slice the cucumber, and dice the tomato.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
Assemble the low-carb chicken doner by placing the cooked chicken strips on a romaine lettuce leaf or low-carb flatbread. Top with the sliced onion, cucumber, and diced tomato.
Optionally, serve with a side of garlic yogurt sauce or tzatziki for additional flavor.
Enjoy your low-carb chicken doner wrap!
