Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl combine the diced chicken breast with 1 cup low‑fat yogurt, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp salt, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Rice Ingredients
Dice 1 medium onion, mince the remaining garlic clove, rinse 1 cup basmati rice until water runs clear, and measure 2 cups low‑sodium chicken broth.
Time: PT5M
Cook Turmeric Rice
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp light butter, then sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent (about 2 minutes). Stir in 1 tsp turmeric, then add the rinsed rice, broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: Medium heat then low
Cook the Chicken Tikka
While the rice simmers, heat a skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the marinated chicken and spread in an even layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10‑15 minutes until the chicken is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Time: PT12M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Rest and Fluff the Rice
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then uncover, fluff with a fork and stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
Time: PT5M
Blend Mint Yogurt Sauce
In a blender cup combine ½ cup low‑fat yogurt, the seeded green chili, ¼ cup chopped mint leaves, ½ tsp cumin, a pinch of salt, and the remaining minced garlic clove. Blend for a few seconds until smooth.
Time: PT2M
Assemble the Burritos
Lay each low‑calorie tortilla flat. Evenly distribute a quarter of the turmeric rice, drizzle with mint yogurt sauce, add a quarter of the cooked chicken, and sprinkle with a little parsley. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
Time: PT5M
Toast and Reheat Burritos
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled burritos seam‑side down and toast for about 2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortillas are golden and the interior is heated through.
