Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 piece English cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.25 piece Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 8 pieces Lettuce leaves (for serving)
• 4 pieces Whole wheat wraps or flatbreads

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken by patting it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both chicken breasts.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing into strips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the dressing. Add a pinch of salt to taste if needed.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Add the chicken strips and toss everything together.

Step 6

Take a whole wheat wrap or flatbread and place a lettuce leaf in the center. Spoon some of the chicken salad mixture over the lettuce, and drizzle with a generous amount of the tahini-yogurt dressing.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the wrap inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining wraps. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
