Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 whole leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together coconut milk, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, garlic powder, ginger paste, salt, and black pepper.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and marinate them in the coconut milk mixture for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, finely chop the cucumber and mix it with lime juice, fresh dill, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a simple cucumber salad.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken strips from the marinade, shaking off excess, and place them in the pan. Grill until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they have a nice char.
Separate the romaine lettuce leaves carefully, wash, and pat them dry. These will serve as your wraps.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the mint leaves.
To assemble the wraps, lay the lettuce leaves flat and fill each with a few strips of grilled chicken.
Top with a spoonful of the cucumber salad, add a few slices of red onion, and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves.
Gently roll or fold the lettuce to enclose the filling, creating wraps.
Serve immediately for optimal freshness and enjoy the savory, refreshing flavors of Whole30 Chicken Tikka Wraps.
