Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (approx. 400 grams)
- 100 grams mayonnaise
- 100 grams lettuce, finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 100 grams spinach leaves
- 100 grams hummus
- 100 grams cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Method
- Start by cooking the chicken breasts. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
- In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken, mayonnaise, and mustard. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Prepare the spinach leaves by washing and patting them dry. Lay them out flat on a clean surface.
- On each spinach leaf, spread a thin layer of hummus, then place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center.
- Top the chicken with grated cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, and tomatoes.
- Carefully fold the spinach leaves over the fillings to make wraps. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired.
Tips
- For a creamier hummus, add a little more olive oil to the mixture.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a light, crisp side salad to complement the flavors of the wraps.
- If cheddar cheese is too pungent, feel free to substitute with a milder cheese like mozzarella.
