Ingredients

  • 1 serving of Greek fries OR
  • 20 g cooked oven fries
  • 20 g crumbled feta
  • Half a red onion diced
  • Diced fresh dill & parsley
For the vegetarian chicken:
  • 50 g vegetarian chicken pieces
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ of lemon juiced
  • 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
Other
  • 3 flatbreads
  • 0.5 cup tzatziki dip
  • 0.5 cup store bought hummus
  • 1 head baby gem lettuce

Method

  1. Place the vegan chicken and all seasonings, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl and coat the chicken fully. Leave it to marinade for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. Reheat your Greek fries if using, or place your oven fries in the oven to cook while you dice your onion, feta, herbs, and other salad ingredients.

  3. Make your homemade tzatziki dip and get your hummus ready
    0.5 cup tzatziki dip, 0.5 cup store bought hummus
  4. Cook the marinated vegan chicken in a frying pan (you shouldn’t need more oil due to it being in the marinade, but add a little more if the vegan chicken sticks). Cook for 5 - 6 minutes depending on the brand you’re using, until golden and crispy.
  5. Warm the flatbreads in the oven for 2 minutes, then assemble. Slather over the hummus, then top with the Greek fries, vegetarian chicken, salad, and tzatziki. Drizzle over some hot sauce if you’d like a bit of added spice.
    3 flatbreads
