Chicken wraps laced with lettuce microgreens (recipe)

lettuce_microgreens_wraps

Takes: 20 minutes
Serves: 4-5
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy as a light meal with a salad on the side or as is.

These chicken wraps utilize lettuce microgreens and will double up as a light meal or a lunch box idea. To prepare for the lunch box, simply wrap in cling wrap so it remains in tact. I love the crispiness of the meal, the freshness of the lettuce microgreens and cucumber, the smoothness and tanginess of the mayonnaise and lastly, the sweet contrast the pineapple adds to the whole mix! Enjoy!

Get This

4-5 homemade or shop bought wraps
250 g chicken breast
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil
4 lettuce leaves
2 handfuls lettuce microgreens
1/2 medium cucumber sliced
1 medium tomato, sliced
1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1. Get your ingredients together. Cut your chicken into medium sized pieces and place in a bowl. Place the egg in a separate bowl and the breadcrumbs in another separate bowl.
2. Season the chicken pieces with salt. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, shake off the excess egg then roll the piece in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Repeat process until all chicken pieces are coated.
3. Heat oil in pan, shallow fry the coated chicken for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set aside.
4. Take the wrap and spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise in the centre. Next add your lettuce microgreens, the meat, cucumber, tomato and pineapple. Add an extra dollop of mayonnaise if you wish and sprinkle a little bit of salt on the tomato and cucumber.
5. Fold the bottom part of the wrap over to the middle. Fold the left side over to the middle and the right side over to the middle. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat process with remaining wraps. Enjoy!
