Healthy Greek Style Chicken Tacos

Recipe #386681 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

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.

SERVES 2 -4 , 4 Tacos (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Sauce

For Serving

  • 4 large taco shells
  • 250 g cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 pieces
  • 1 cup mixed salad green (loosely packed)
  • 50 g feta, crumbled

Directions

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

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #34* Really tasty, Peter ! I used peeled and diced cuke and Purdue rotisserie Shortcuts for the chicken. Bought taco shells, but they just shattered, put together with tortillas, but they were messy. DH and I just ate the chicken salad, which was very tasty and 2 each were just right for lunch. (Tried to slice an avocado, but it was rotten !) Thanks for posting !!

    What a nice change from typical tacos. I enjoyed the sauce, thought it went well with the Greek theme, also liked the feta cheese.
