Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 150 g Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 Whole wheat pita breads
• 4 Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken marinade. In a large bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or optionally overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Once marinated, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the marinated chicken strips to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomato, cucumber, and red onion thinly.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat pita breads on a dry skillet or in a toaster for a couple of minutes until they are pliable and lightly warm.

Step 7

To assemble the chicken doner, open each pita bread and place a lettuce leaf inside, followed by a generous portion of cooked chicken strips.

Step 8

Top the chicken with sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion as desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately while warm, accompanied with your choice of low-fat sauce or yogurt if desired.
