Lemon Yogurt Chicken Mini Wraps
If the sun is shining, try making these family-friendly chicken wraps on the barbecue grill with a marinade featuring lemon, garlic, and a hint of cinnamon. Enjoy them paired with yogurt for added zest.
Ingredients:
- 2 skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 small bread rolls
- 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- ¼ red chili, chopped
- 1 gem lettuce leaf, shredded
Cooking Steps:
Step 1:
- Place the chicken in a bowl. Using a vegetable peeler, zest the lemon and then extract its juice. Add the lemon zest and half of the juice to the chicken, along with oregano (if using), garlic, cinnamon, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for an hour. Be cautious not to marinate the chicken for too long as the lemon juice will tenderize the meat.
Step 2: 2. Preheat the barbecue grill. If using charcoal, wait until the coals turn white. For indoor cooking, preheat a skillet. Thread the chicken strips onto metal skewers (if using a grill) and grill for a few minutes on each side. Chicken strips cook quickly, so avoid overcooking. Season to taste if desired. Step 3: 3. Warm the bread rolls on the edge of the grill (or on a baking sheet) for a minute, then transfer them to a plate. Spread ½ tablespoon of Greek yogurt on each roll. Place the grilled chicken strips onto the rolls, then top with the remaining yogurt, chopped red chili, and shredded lettuce. Roll up or fold the wraps and they’re ready to serve.
Conclusion:
These lemon yogurt chicken mini wraps are an excellent choice for family barbecues. The blend of lemon and yogurt-based marinade offers delightful tanginess and a unique sweet-sour flavor profile to the chicken, making it a delicious treat.
