Chicken and Pepper Wraps
Hello again! Today, I want to show you a delicious recipe for chicken and pepper wraps (makes 8). It is very easy to make, deliciously colourful and quite healthy. Here's how you make it:
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. De-seed 1 small red pepper and 1 small yellow pepper by cutting of the top of the pepper. Inside will be the core and seeds. Cut any parts attached to the sides and pull out the core and seeds. Slice the peppers into 12 equal strips.
2. Mix 1 tbsp sunflower oil, 2 tbsp clear runny honey, 2.5cm fresh, peeled and grated ginger (optional), 3-4 dashes pepper sauce (also optional) and a pinch of salt together in a bowl. Stir in 4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (each cut into 6 strips) until they are completely coated with the flavouring.
3. Heat a frying pan for 2 minutes. Add the coated chicken and fry them for 4-5 minutes. the chicken should turn golden and caramelized.
4. Place 8 tortillas on an ovenproof plate. Make sure you cover them with foil (I forgot 😳), or the top one will go crispy and it will crack. Put them in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes, or until they are warmed through.
5. Add the chopped peppers, 125g mange tout and juice of half a lime to the frying pan - or you could cut the lime into wedges and serve it with the chicken. Cook for 4-5 minutes on a medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to stop it from sticking.
6. Lay some of the filling along the top half of a tortilla, leaving the other end and the sides empty. Don't over fill your tortilla; you won't be able to wrap it up.
7. To wrap them up, fold the empty end inwards and overlap the sides. The filling should be securely wrapped but peeping out the end appetisingly from the other end!
I served these with couscous. It's best to serve these wraps with something plain, because there are a lot of delicious flavours in the chicken and the pepper already. When I made these for my family, everyone loved the yummy combination of the sweet vegetables and the tender, juicy chicken! If you want the chicken to have a little more flavour, leave them in the sauce (or marinade) that you made earlier. The meat will soak up the flavours, and you will be able to taste them more.
Finally... the bit you've been waiting for. Tuck in!!!
