Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos Recipe

Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos recipe
Food.com

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.

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

Method

1
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.
2
When ready to serve warm up taco shells for 10 minutes or so as per directions on pack.
3
Place two tomato slices and a few slices of lettuce in each shell.
4
Stir the diced chicken through the sauce and stuff each shell with equal amounts.
5
Top each with the crumbled feta and serve.
