Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 Butterhead lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Diced cucumber
- 0.5 cup Chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, carefully separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them under cool water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Prep the toppings by dicing the cucumber, chopping the tomatoes, and finely chopping the fresh parsley.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
To assemble the wraps, place a spoonful of the cooked chicken onto the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and a sprinkle of parsley.
Serve the lettuce wraps as-is or with a side of your favorite sauce, like a tahini drizzle or extra yogurt for dipping.
