Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cup shredded cabbage

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 whole wheat or gluten-free pita pockets

Instructions

1. 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

2. 2. Cook the chicken over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

3. 3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, parsley, and cilantro. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ranch dressing, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

4. 4. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
