Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams boneless skinless chicken breast
- 100 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole wheat wraps
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 0.5 sliced red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by slicing the boneless skinless chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, minced garlic clove, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the marinated chicken on the grill pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble the wraps, lay a whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Place one lettuce leaf in the center of the wrap.
Top with a portion of the cooked chicken tikka strips, then add some sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and a few fresh mint leaves.
Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
Serve the Low Fat Chicken Tikka Wraps immediately, or wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper for later consumption.
