1. Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt, juice of one lemon, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Mix everything together to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for more flavor.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the onion, cucumber, and tomato. Chop the fresh parsley finely.
4. Preheat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken strips on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Warm the whole wheat flatbreads in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes.
6. Assemble the kebab sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on each flatbread. Top with a portion of grilled chicken, slices of onion, cucumber, tomato, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
7. Roll up the flatbread tightly to encase the filling and serve the kebabs warm. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful low-fat kebab sandwich!
