Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos Recipes

HEALTHY GREEK STYLE CHICKEN TACOS

Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos image

Idea I came up with for something quick and healthy that can be mostly prepared in advance. I used a large cooked chicken breast cut-up but would also be a good use for leftover roast chicken. Makes 4 large tacos so I think would be a complete meal for two or a light snack / lunch for four, if using the smaller shells you'll probably be able to fill six of them. I listed a gherkin because that's what I used but you could also use a small handful of diced cucumber. Because it's served slightly chilled I think this would make a nice and quick summer meal at the end of a hot day. You could also use a low-fat Greek yoghurt and/or omit the feta. There is not a lot of sweetness in the recipe so I couldn't really say it was a kid pleaser, more of a slightly sharp taste from the salty and sour ingredients.

Time 25m

Yield 4 Tacos, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 gherkin, finely diced
2 tablespoons black olives, pitted and sliced
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dill, dried
black pepper, to taste
4 large taco shells
250 g cooked chicken, diced
1 large tomatoes, sliced into 8 pieces
1 cup mixed salad green (loosely packed)
50 g feta, crumbled

Steps:

Mix together all sauce ingredients well in a medium bowl. This may be prepared and refrigerated in advance but remove 10 minutes or so before serving. The flavours will blend better if you do it in advance.
When ready to serve warm up taco shells for 10 minutes or so as per directions on pack.
Place two tomato slices and a few slices of lettuce in each shell.
Stir the diced chicken through the sauce and stuff each shell with equal amounts.
Top each with the crumbled feta and serve.

Combine the Feta cheese, yogurt, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes in the bowl of a food processor and process for 3-5 minutes until smooth (you may need to stop it once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula). Remove the mixture from the food processor and set aside.
In a large skillet, bring the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, basil, oregano and rosemary and stir into the oil. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the chicken to the pan and stir to coat in the oil and herbs. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Using shears or a knife, slice each Foldit in half at the seam to make two rounds. Mist a griddle pan or large skillet with cooking spray and place the Foldit rounds on the pan. Mist the tops with cooking spray and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip the rounds and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the Foldits are warm and lightly browned. *If you’re not serving all the tacos at once, just warm as many Foldits as you re using.*
To build each taco, start with a warm Foldit round and spread about 2 teaspoons of the Feta spread down the center. Top with a couple small pieces of torn lettuce and then add 1 ounce of the cooked chicken. Top the chicken with a teaspoon of diced cucumbers and a half an olive (chopped)and half a cherry tomato (chopped) and serve.
