Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 pieces whole wheat flatbreads
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
• 0.5 cup, crumbled low-fat feta cheese
• 1 cup hummus
• 0.5 cup, chopped fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess.

Step 4

Grill the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the flatbreads. Spread a thin layer of hummus over each flatbread.

Step 6

Slice the grilled chicken thinly and evenly distribute the slices over the hummus on each flatbread.

Step 7

Top with fresh spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the top for added flavor and color.

Step 9

Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy their heart-healthy creation. Alternatively, you can place the flatbreads back on the grill for 1-2 minutes to slightly warm the toppings.
