Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 150 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 Flatbreads or pita
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, ground black pepper, and oregano. Add the chicken thighs and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
To prepare the yogurt sauce, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, olive oil, lemon juice, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Warm the flatbreads or pitas if desired.
Assemble each doner by placing a lettuce leaf on a flatbread, followed by slices of tomato and red onion. Add a portion of the sliced chicken and top with a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce. Wrap tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium chicken doner.
