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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, carefully separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them under cool water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Prep the toppings by dicing the cucumber, chopping the tomatoes, and finely chopping the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the lettuce wraps as-is or with a side of your favorite sauce, like a tahini drizzle or extra yogurt for dipping.
