• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly charred, turning halfway through.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by combining chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley in a large bowl.

Step 7

Warm the whole wheat pita bread in a toaster or oven for a few minutes.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the platter by placing a portion of the salad, a few strips of chicken, and a dollop of low-fat hummus onto each plate.

Step 9

Serve with a warm whole wheat pita bread on the side, and enjoy your low-fat shawarma platter!
