Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 150 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 8 large leaves Butter lettuce leaves
• 1 small, sliced Red onion
• 0.5 sliced Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan, arranging them in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the wrap, take a large butter lettuce leaf and place a few slices of red onion and cucumber in the center.

Step 8

Add a few pieces of cooked chicken onto the lettuce and top with fresh coriander.

Step 9

Roll the lettuce wrap tightly around the filling and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

Step 10

Enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Tikka Wraps as a light, flavorful meal!
