{ INGREDIENTS }

Serves 4 (serving size: approx 1/2 cup chicken & 1/3 cup of raita)

Marinade:

3/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt

2 tbsp ginger, minced

1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tsp chili powder

3/4 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp Sriracha chili sauce

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cooking spray

Mint Raita:

3/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt

3/4 cup chopped English cucumber or seeded cucumber

2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp kosher salt

For finishing the wrap:

baby spinach

sliced red onion

California Lavash wraps/tortilla/Greek pitas (whatever you prefer)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees, move the rack to the middle position or higher in the oven.

{ DIRECTIONS for making & baking the chicken }

--one--

To make the marinade, combine the first 10 ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth.

Pour into a ziploc plastic bag, add chicken- make sure to { smoosh } it around in the bag 

to coat all sides fully.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

--two--

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes.

This is a great time to prepare the Mint Raita.

--three--

I baked the chicken on a cooling rack that I placed on a baking sheet, I also sprayed the

cooling rack with some cooking spray before putting the chicken on it.

--four--

Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the remaining marinade.  Place the 

chicken on the prepared cooling rack/baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes flipping 

the chicken half way through the baking process.

{ DIRECTIONS for preparing the raita }

Combine Greek yogurt, English cucumber, mint, cumin and salt in a small bowl.  Mix 

the ingredients together; cover bowl and refrigerate while chicken is baking.

{ AND putting it all together }

Place your wrap on a plate and then layer the chicken, Mint Raita, baby spinach, and red onion.

Now roll up your wrap and enjoy your delicious, flavorful Tandoori Chicken Wrap!!

All wrapped up and ready to eat!!

Now go and make yourself a batch to enjoy { smile }
