INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 small Whole Wheat Pita
1/4 cup diced Cucumber
1/4 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1/8 cup thinly sliced Red Onion
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove minced Garlic
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired to create the herb marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade and let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it is cooked through and has appealing grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the Mediterranean slaw by combining diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and the remaining chopped parsley in a bowl. Toss lightly with a splash more lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Warm the whole wheat pita briefly on the grill or in a toaster oven.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and stuff into the warm pita along with a generous portion of the fresh Mediterranean slaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
