🫓

To Serve:

  • Small tub of Greek yoghurt or tzatziki

Method:

  1. Marinate the chicken
    Chop chicken into chunks or strips. Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip bag. Add chicken, coat well. Leave for 15+ mins (or overnight if you’re that level of organised).

  2. Cook the chicken
    Fry in a hot pan, griddle, or BBQ until cooked through and golden on all sides.

  3. Make the minted salad
    In a bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, red onion, mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Build your wrap
    Warm the flatbreads, spread with yoghurt or tzatziki, pile on the chicken and minted salad, and squeeze over lemon juice.

  5. Try not to make groaning noises while you eat it
    But if you do, no one’s judging.

🧠 Vanlife Tip:

Keep your salad ingredients pre-chopped in a tub, and double the marinade for tomorrow’s dinner.
