Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 1 cup tomato, diced
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces whole wheat roti

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once heated, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes or until fully cooked and charred on the edges. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix plain Greek yogurt with chopped parsley to make the yogurt dressing.

Step 7

To assemble each roti, spread a tablespoon of the yogurt dressing onto the roti. Layer with sliced grilled chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Fold the roti over the filling tightly. You can wrap it in parchment paper to hold it better if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy Mediterranean meal.
