50 g vegetarian chicken pieces, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ of lemon, 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano
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.
1 serving of Greek fries OR, 20 g cooked oven fries, 20 g crumbled feta, Half a red onion, Diced fresh dill & parsley, 1 head baby gem lettuce, 0.5 cucumber
Make your homemade tzatziki dip and get your hummus ready
0.5 cup tzatziki dip, 0.5 cup store bought hummus
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.
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.
