INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1 Whole Wheat Pita
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 clove Fresh Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garlic sauce by combining nonfat Greek yogurt, minced fresh garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
Warm the whole wheat pita in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
Thinly slice the cooked chicken and serve it inside the pita with a drizzle of garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Optionally, add extra lemon juice or a side salad for added freshness.
