Hi, a huge welcome to Steve's Kitchen. We're still in our very basic kitchen
here in Kuala Lumpur. When I was a student I loved chicken
wraps, they were one of the most simple things to make. You can go out and buy
them in the stores, they often work out quite expensive and learning to make
them for yourself, not only makes them a lot cheaper, it's a lot more delicious.
We're going to use a cajun chicken to go in our wrap today but you can experiment.
Now one of the things I would say is making your own sauce is a good thing.
You can buy sauces from the stores, they often work out expensive and they taste
processed. So get used to making your own sauces, it makes all the difference. Now
come on let's get and make some beautiful cajun chicken wraps.
Now chicken breast or chicken filets are really good for wraps, they've got a
little bit of sinew on them so I'm just going to pull that out, that can be a
little bit tough.Now chicken thighs are often good as well, we want to cut these
into fairly long strips by the way. So take each of the filets, cut them into
strips. Next it's all about seasoning, now I've got a Cajun spice here which is
going to go delicious with this chicken. I'm just going to lift the chicken up,
pop it into a bowl and we don't want to under season put quite a decent amount
of the spice on, this will have garlic and chilli maybe some onion powder in it
as well and just toss the chicken through the spices and when you've got a
nice even coating like that, we'll take a couple of tablespoons of oil into a
frying pan, set it to a modest or high heat and take our pieces of chicken and
just lay them down in the pan. Now don't be tempted to turn the meat too early, we
want a nice caramelized back to the meat before we turn it over, when you see a
nice bit of color like that on the back and then we can turn the pieces of
chicken over. Now it shouldn't take a few more minutes and this chicken should be
completely cooked through. I'm going to give it a little toss through in those
cajun spices and I'm going to turn the heat off, move the pan to one side. Now a
good wrap is all about the sauce, I'm going for a fairly healthy sauce here.
I've got some lovely thick Greek yogurt. Let's put two or three dessert spoons in
a bowl and I'm going for a honey mustard so I'm going to add a teaspoon of honey
in with that as well, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt there may be
about an eighth of a teaspoon of white pepper or black pepper whatever you have
and now we're going to mix that through. Now taste your sauce, that's a little bit
sweet and very fresh I think it's perfect for what I'm looking for but if
you want you can add some extra spices into here, maybe some chilies as well if
you prefer. Now I've got some Romaine lettuce here which I'm just going to
shred up, it's a good lettuce for a wrap. Right it's time to assemble our wrap now.
I'm going to start with our lettuce which I'm just going to lay across the
wrap and pull it a little bit further back so it's not right in the center.
I've got some beautiful little plum tomatoes I'm just going to pop those in
there as well. Now you can decide if you want to go
cucumber or celery I've actually got bean sprouts which I
think are going to add a nice crunch to my wrap. Now I've got a little bit of
feta cheese here and I'm just going to cut it into some strips
I love the tartness of the feta cheese, we're just going to lay that through the
wrap as well and next we're going to take that lovely honey mustard sauce and
pour it over our feta and salad and now we're going to take some of that
beautiful spicy cajun chicken and I'm just going to lay maybe five or six
pieces diagonally across the wrap and ready, we're going to wrap this over, tuck
it down underneath, pull, this pull the contents back nice and tight and then
we're just going to wrap this up nice and tight. Now I'm just going to take the
wrap and cut it at a diagonal angle like that and you can look inside there now
how beautiful does that look, we've got the salad and the feta it truly really
doesn't get much more simple but does it taste delicious? Well here goes I'm going
to take a piece make sure there's lots of sauce in your
wrap by the way, give it lots of flavor hmm so there you have it when you're in
a tight squeeze, you need something delicious to make, you haven't got much
like I haven't at the moment to use in the kitchen, a delicious cajun chicken
wrap is the way to go. If you enjoyed this comment down below let me know what
