Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 whole wheat pita
3 medium potatoes
Cooking spray
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cornstarch
Salt and pepper
Pickled cucumber

Marination

9 oz. chicken breast
2 tsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 lemon juice
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. turmeric
Salt and pepper

Sauce

2 tbsp. low fat mayo
3 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt
1/2 lemon juice
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt to taste

Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into strips.
Add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp paprika. Then add tomato paste and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well.
Preheat the oven to 220°C / 420°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Thoroughly wash the potatoes, then chop them without peeling them. Add 1 tsp cornstarch, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Place the spiced potatoes on the tray, then spray some cooking spray on them. Bake for 20 minutes.
Preheat a wok or a slightly deep pan. Grease the pan with cooking spray.
Fry each side of the chicken for about 4 minutes, until golden brown.
In a deep bowl, prepare the garlic sauce by combining the juice of half a lemon, 3 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of low-fat mayo, and some salt. Mix well.
Spread the yogurt sauce as a thick flat strip in the middle of your pita bread. Layer the fried chicken on the sauce.
Place the baked potatoes next to the chicken. Cut the pickled cucumbers into thin strips and place them on the potatoes.
Pour some more yogurt sauce on top of all the ingredients, then wrap it.

Notes

If the color of the breasts does not change, it means they are not well-marinated. In this case, you can add more seasoning.
Do not salt the potatoes before baking. Salting them after taking them out of the oven increases their flavor.
If you wish, sprinkle thinly sliced scallions on the ingredients before wrapping.
For a thinner wrap, you can serve baked potatoes on the side rather than inside.
Feel free to add some tomato slices to your wrap.
If deviating from the original recipe is not a big problem, you can use any other spices you want during marination.
