Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup cucumber
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 4 pieces whole grain flatbreads
- 0.5 cup sliced red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat them well. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped fresh dill, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the whole grain flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave.
Assemble the kebab wraps by spreading a spoonful of the yogurt sauce onto each flatbread. Top with sliced chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and romaine lettuce.
Roll up each flatbread to encase the fillings tightly. Secure with parchment paper or foil to hold them in place if desired.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Kebab Wraps immediately with any extra yogurt sauce on the side.
