How To Make Chicken Wraps
These are super simple to make so once you've decided what you're adding into your wrap in terms of a protein then you're on to a good start. These are your basics to a wrap:
Ingredients
Protein: Chicken always works wonderfully in a wrap but it's not the only protein. You can also use fish, bacon, shrimp, beef, lamb turkey, meat essentially or seafood.
Filling: Avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, fresh herbs etc.
You don't have to fill your wrap with veggies so don't spend a lot of time analyzing what vegetables to use. There are a host of other ingredients to use especially fresh herbs, sliced onions or you can even omit the vegetables and use this incredibly delicious veggie spread that doubles up as a dip!
Seasoning: Basic dry spice rubs or your favorite chicken spice. We use this natural, aromatic and flavorful chicken seasoning.
Wraps: You can use all grain wrap, plain flour, any wrap.
Cheese: Freshly grated mozzarella or a mature cheddar is also great in this recipe.
Sauce: Mascarpone cheese dip, the star of the wrap with chicken

How To Cook Grilled Chicken
Prep the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the fridge to reach room temperature at least 15 minutes before cooking.
Dry: Dry them with kitchen towel or tissue paper to remove acess moisture.
Prep to cook: If you want thinner chicken breasts, you can slice them in half to make cutlets or you can use a meat mallet to pound them. Just make sure to cover the chicken fillets with cling wrap to prevent them from tearing.
The above step is optional. You can cook your chicken breasts slightly thicker too, just regulate the heat.

Season and spice: Season the chicken breasts with a mix of olive oil and seasoning. We use these products.
Cook/Grill: Heat the griddle till very hot, place the chicken breasts over and grill on both sides till done.
Timing: You can use a meat thermometer to check the doneness, 74°C / 165°F for skinless boneless chicken. If you don't have a thermometer, gently press on the thickest part of the chicken to see if the jices are clear. Clear juices means it's cooked and pink juices, continue cooking. You can also check the chicken juices by using a sharp knife to pierce into the thickest part of the chicken.
Rest: Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
Carve: When the chicken has cooled properly, slice into bite sized pieces or slices.
Serve: Spread this creamy mascarpone cheese over the wrap as the foundation for the chicken and vegetables or salad ingredients. Add the remaining ingredients or use this veggie dip, a drizlle of extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper and enjoy!

How this recipe came about...
From the time I started this blog I've always said 'work with what you have'. I didn't have a lot of suitable fresh veggies besides cucumber and tomatoes to be honest. And because I am not about running around for ingredients at the last minute my choices are simple; either I'm making it or I'm not and trust me, I was making this wrap. There was no way I was not going to use the delicious and tender grilled chicken breasts and mascarpone creamy dip which was really the star of this chicken wrap!
