Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground paprika, ground cayenne pepper, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Blend the spices into a marinade.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add to the marinade. Ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken strips for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves. Place a few slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion on each leaf.
Top the vegetables with a few pieces of grilled chicken, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the filling like a burrito and serve immediately.
