  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

– 2 large chicken breasts

– 1 cup BBQ sauce or as needed for that classic BBQ vibe

– 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika

– 1 tsp garlic powder

– 1/2 tsp salt

– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for a cheeky kick

– 1/4 tsp black pepper for bite

– olive oil for frying

– 1 large carrot grated

– 1/4 red cabbage finely sliced

– 1/4 green or white cabbage finely sliced

– 1/2 medium white onion finely sliced

– 4 tbsp full fat mayo

– 1 tbsp sour cream for slaw perfection

– 2 tsp dijon mustard

– 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

– 1/2 tsp sugar

– salt and black pepper to taste

– 4 large white flour tortilla wraps for easy rolling

– 4 small handfuls spinach or greens of choice

Instructions

1-First Step: Prep the ChickenGrab those 2 large chicken breasts. Butterfly slice each into 2 even pieces 4 total. Pat dry with kitchen roll. Let ’em sit out 10-15 minutes room temp cooks evenly, no icy middles. In a bowl, coat with 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne, and a good glug of olive oil. Massage it in like you mean it. Season heavily trust me, flavours pop! Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high with a tsp olive oil (total assumes 2 tsp). Takes 2 minutes to sizzle.

2-Second Step: Cook the ChickenFry 3-4 minutes per side till golden and cooked through (internal 75C if you’ve a thermometer). On first flip, brush generously with BBQ sauce. Keeps it saucy, not dry. Rest sauce-side down on a board for 5 minutes juices redistribute. Then brush the other side. Slice into angled strips against the grain looks pro, eats easy. Griddle pan? Bonus char lines. I do this while kids set table multitasking win!

3-Third Step: Whip Up the ColeslawGrate 1 large carrot. Finely slice 1/4 red cabbage, 1/4 green cabbage, 1/2 medium white onion. Chuck in a bowl. Mix dressing: 4 tbsp full fat mayo, 1 tbsp sour cream, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp sugar. Whisk smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust sugar if too tangy balances sweet chicken. Pour over veg, toss well. Let sit 5 minutes for flavours to mingle. Crunchy, creamy heaven. Anecdote: My other half hates raw onion, so I swap for spring onions. Game-changer!

4-Fourth Step: Assemble the WrapsLay a tortilla flat. Add a strip of 4 small handfuls spinach (1 per wrap, about 1 cup total) near bottom centre prevents sogginess. Pile on coleslaw, then chicken strips. Don’t overload! Fold bottom over filling, tuck sides in, roll like a burrito. Or just roll tight. Cut in half for posh look. Serve fresh coleslaw wilts quick.

5-Final Step: Serve and EnjoyPlate up with crisps or fruit. Pairs brill with cold beer. Total time: 24 minutes. Laughs around table guaranteed. If first batch sticks, more oil next time. Practice makes perfect wraps!
