Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Low-carb pita bread
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Cucumber
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken breast. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the chicken breasts with this marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes or in the fridge for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh dill in a bowl. Set aside.
Dice the cucumber and tomato, and chop the romaine lettuce. Set these aside for the wrap filling.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
Gently warm the low-carb pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
Assemble the wraps by spreading a tablespoon of the yogurt sauce on each pita, followed by an even distribution of lettuce, sliced chicken, cucumber, tomato, and crumbled feta cheese.
Roll or fold the pita to encase the filling, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
