Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup cucumber
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for a minimum of 15 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the grill is ready, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and grill marks form.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the fillings. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 7

To assemble your Whole30 Grilled Chicken Pita, take a Romaine lettuce leaf as your wrap base. Layer it with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of parsley.

Step 8

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients, serve immediately, and enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal.
