Wraps

So every now and again I find myself home alone, just me and the woof.  And seriously who feels like cooking just for one.  Not me!!

But on the other hand, if I ordered in a takeaway delivery, I usually wait about half an hour and eventually by the time it arrives I am starving and the food is not very hot. Or if I hop into the car and drive up for takeaways, it means a wait while the food is prepared and by the time I get home the food is once again not very hot. Ugh!! 

So now, to look for something that is tasty and takes just about as long as the takeaway does.  Hum.....whats in the fridge? 

Chicken wraps with red pepper, served with a mild
sweet chilli sauce.
 
 


Ingredients
 
1 wrap
1 chicken fillet, sliced thinly
1 red pepper
olive oil
2 peppadews, sliced
handful baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
Spur seasoning salt
1/2 round feta cheese, crumbled
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons plain yoghurt
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
 
1. Blacken the skin of the red pepper on the gas burner. If you don't have gas, grill the pepper until the skin blackens, turning all the time.
 
 

 
2. Place the blackened pepper in a bowl and cover with cling wrap for a few minutes.
 
 
3. In the meantime, season the chicken with the Spur seasoning salt, cook in a frying pan with a bit of olive oil until nicely browned and cooked through.
 
 
 
 4. Scrape off the blackened skin on the pepper, don't wash it as this is where all that flavour is.
 
 
5. Take out the pips and slice the pepper into thin strips.
6. Make the sweet chilli sauce by combining the yoghurt, mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce and put to one side.
7. Heat the wrap for 30 seconds in the microwave and place on a plate.
8. Start layering with the baby spinach leaves, followed by about half of the red pepper,feta cheese and peppadews.

 
9. Top with the chicken and pour the sweet chilli sauce over.
10. Season with the salt and pepper


11.  Roll up the wrap and slice in half.
 
 
You can easily double up on the ingredients if serving two. Remembering that you would probably only need to use one red pepper.
