Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 g Chicken breast
- 150 g Low-fat plain yogurt
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 piece Red onion
- 2 pieces Tomato
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 20 g Fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine low-fat plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the marinated chicken strips evenly on the sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, turning halfway through cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red onion, chop the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes, and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven for a few minutes or until slightly puffed and soft.
Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes and then assemble the kebabs.
To assemble, fill each pita with the baked chicken, a mix of tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion, then top with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat chicken doner kebab!
