2 1/2 tbsp ground paprika
2 tbsp ground onion
2 tbsp ground garlic
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 baby cos lettuce
1 cucumber, diced

Method

Combine the ground paprika, ground onion, ground garlic, dried oregano, black pepper and salt in a small ball. Place the diced chicken in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the cajun spice mix over the chicken, drizzle with olive oil and stir until all of the chicken is covered in the spices.
In a frypan over medium heat, add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes then stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
Peel all the lettuce leaves apart, wash and then dry. Place the lettuce leaves on a plate, and the cucumber, carrot, cherry tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts and parsley all in seperate bowls to serve. Combine the greek yoghurt and lemon juice in a bowl (use this as dressing).
Place the chicken, lettuce cups and bowls on the table. Allow everyone to assemble a lettuce cup with the ingredients they like.
