Ingredients

• 600 g Chicken breast
• 150 g Low-fat plain yogurt
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 piece Red onion
• 2 pieces Tomato
• 1 piece Cucumber
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 20 g Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine low-fat plain yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the marinated chicken strips evenly on the sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, turning halfway through cooking.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red onion, chop the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes, and roughly chop the fresh parsley.

Step 8

Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven for a few minutes or until slightly puffed and soft.

Step 9

Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes and then assemble the kebabs.

Step 10

To assemble, fill each pita with the baked chicken, a mix of tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion, then top with fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat chicken doner kebab!
