Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 large leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 small, sliced Red onion
- 0.5 sliced Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan, arranging them in a single layer.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the wrap, take a large butter lettuce leaf and place a few slices of red onion and cucumber in the center.
Add a few pieces of cooked chicken onto the lettuce and top with fresh coriander.
Roll the lettuce wrap tightly around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Tikka Wraps as a light, flavorful meal!
