Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup tomato, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces whole wheat roti
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once heated, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes or until fully cooked and charred on the edges. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix plain Greek yogurt with chopped parsley to make the yogurt dressing.
To assemble each roti, spread a tablespoon of the yogurt dressing onto the roti. Layer with sliced grilled chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Fold the roti over the filling tightly. You can wrap it in parchment paper to hold it better if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy Mediterranean meal.
