Lemon Chicken Wraps

My son wanted to eat chicken and I wanted to try a new recipe, so after searching different recipes through internet, I settled for Lemon flavored chicken recipe. I didn't really follow any particular recipe, just added things along with the chicken that were in my pantry.I just wanted the recipe to be healthy and "no-deep-fry". The result was refreshing and tasty.




Ingredients:

  • 400 gms chicken (I used 2 chicken breast pieces)
  • zest of 1 large lemon
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • salt, pepper about 1/2-1 tsp
  • red chili flakes 1 tsp
  • dried mixed herbs 1 tsp
  • 1 tsp oil
  • flour/corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup each of chopped vegetables like carrots, capsicum, onion, etc
  • 1/2 cup of grated cheese (I used mozzarella and parmesan)

Recipe:

  • Chop the chicken breasts to 1 cm wide fillets.
  • Add lemon zest to the chicken.

  • Add lemon juice to the chicken.

  • Add garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and mixed herbs and mix well.
  • Keep the chicken in the marinade for about 30 minutes to 2 hours.

  • Grease a baking tray with oil. Line the marinated chicken in the pan in one layer.
  • Drizzle the leftover marinade on top of the chicken. Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of cheese on top of the chicken.

  • Bake uncovered in a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes till the chicken turns white and breaks off easily.

  • Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

  • I served them in garlic wraps with other vegetables like onions, carrots and capsicum.

Quantity:

  • 4-5 wraps

Notes:

  • You can make the chicken by stir-frying in a wok with a tsp of oil. Stir-fry at high heat for a minute, so that the sides are browned. Then lower the heat to medium and cook till the chicken is done.
  • You can use combination of fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley and chives.
