Delicious and flavorful healthy dish!  

Jeera Chicken

You will need:

• 2 lb Chicken
• 1  tablespoon cumin seeds (Jeera seeds)
• 1 tbsp Red Chilli Powder (spicy)
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• ¼ cup Vinegar
• 1 1∕2 Onions grated
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil (optional, substitute with any oil) -I opted for much healthier virgin olive oil
• 2  teaspoons grated garlic
  8  teaspoons grated ginger
  1  teaspoon cumin powder (Jeera powder)
  1  teaspoon Garam Masala powder
  1  tablespoon lemon juice 
• Salt to taste

 Whole Grain pita bread

 Lettuce

 Chutney

1.  Add 2 Tbsp oil to pan and heat, then heat the cumin seeds.  They will crackle and turn brown.  

2.  Add all of the onion and sautee for 3 minutes or until soft and yellow

3.  Add chicken to pan and cook until no longer pink

4.  Combine all other ingredients and add to chicken

5.  Cover and cook on medium for 15 minutes 

Chutney:

16 oz plain greek yogurt

1 bundle of fresh cilantro 

salt (to taste- I used about 2 tsp)

pepper (to taste- I used about 3 tsp)

1 tsp ground red pepper

1.  Add all ingredients to blender -for the cilantro, I cut the stems at the rubber-band and used all of the bushel above.

Finally!

Add a layer of chutney to the inside of the pita, some lettuce, chicken and enjoy!
