Ingredients
- Chicken breast150 g
Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.
- Dried oregano1 tsp
- Lemon juiceHalf a lemon
- Garlic1 clove, about 3 g
- Romaine lettuce100 g
The outer leaves of one head. They are big enough to fold.
- Tzatziki50 g
- Tomato60 g
- Red onion20 g
- Olive oil spray3 sprays
Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.
- SaltTo taste
Method
Cut the chicken into strips and toss it with the oregano, crushed garlic, half the lemon and salt.
Fry in a sprayed pan over a high heat for three minutes a side, until browned and no longer pink inside. Squeeze the rest of the lemon into the pan.
Lay out the romaine leaves. Fill each with chicken, sliced tomato and onion, and a spoon of tzatziki. Fold and eat with your hands.
Worth knowing
- The tzatziki is the only fat worth counting and it is 50 g. The chicken and lettuce together are under 5 g of fat.
- Put the same filling in a warmed pitta and it is a bigger lunch by the whole pitta.
