Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat durum wraps
• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Mint leaves
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 head Lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to prepare the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the mint leaves.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, mint leaves, and a pinch of salt. Set the yogurt sauce aside.

Step 6

Slice tomatoes and red onion thinly. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.

Step 8

Grill the chicken kebabs for about 15 minutes, rotating them occasionally, until they are cooked through with a nice char.

Step 9

Warm the whole wheat durum wraps on the grill for a minute on each side.

Step 10

To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on a wrap, add grilled chicken pieces, sliced tomato, onion, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.

Step 11

Wrap tightly, slice in half if preferred, and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
