Peri Peri Chicken Wrap Ingredients

Here’s what goes in a chicken wrap

• 1 tbs of olive oil – you could use rapeseed or sunflower oil if you prefer. 

• 650g chicken breast – cut into bitesized pieces, you could buy the chicken breast mini fillets to save you having to chop up the chicken pieces. 

• 1 red or orange pepper – roughly chopped – feel free to add in more veggies if you like – courgettes or mushrooms all work well. 

• 1 onion - sliced into wedges

• 2 teaspoon peri peri seasoning – I use the Schwartz piri piri seasoning for my chicken wraps. This is a great seasoning mix to have in the cupboard to liven up. chicken, fish or even add a bit of something extra to roast potatoes.

• Pinch salt

To Serve

Okay so you definitely need the tortilla wraps and the salad for serving. But it's also nice to add a few extras - our favourites are below.

• 4 tortilla wraps – the large soft flour ones are best for this recipe – you could switch to wholemeal or seeded if you wish. 

• Bag of salad leaves – the kids prefer these made up with a crunchy salad mix – the bags with the Iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, carrot ribbons are a good choice.

• Corn cobs

• Nando's Perinaise

• McCains Flavour Maker Chipotle Chips - these are new, and if you've not tried them you really should! They're so delicious! Great to serve alongside chicken or burgers.

Make Peri Peri Chicken Wraps Your Way

We’ve given you a basic chicken wrap recipe but there’s loads of different directions you can take it in to really make it your own. 

I'm a big fan of using up leftovers and switching ingredients to suit your own likes. You could try our chicken wraps with…

• Make this recipe with chicken mini fillets if you prefer (this just saves on the chopping up of the chicken – you’ll just need to adjust cooking times to be a little longer to ensure they’re cooked through properly)

• If you don’t like spicy chicken then swap the peri peri seasoning for a milder flavour like smoked paprika and a pinch of Italian herbs.

• Add more vegetables – chunkily chopped courgette or mushrooms taste great.

• Don't fancy a wrap? - just serve the chicken on a bed of fluffy rice, add a dash of Nando's peri peri sauce.
