Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • sauté pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts (cooked) About 600g, see notes
  • 325 g Sweetcorn (1x tin), Drained
  • ½ Red onion Finely chopped
  • 100 g Cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Barbecue sauce
  • 125 g Grated mozzarella (or cheddar) See notes
  • 4 pieces Large wraps
  • 1 tablespoon Sunflower oil Optional for frying
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • If you're using whole chicken breasts or chunks of meat, shred the chicken breasts either using 2 forks or a mixer (as I did in my video – fun and useful hack!)
  • Put the chicken into a large bowl and mix with the sweetcorn, onion, cream cheese, barbecue sauce, cheese and salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  • Divide the mixture between the wraps, dolloping it in the middle.
  • Fold the sides of the wrap inwards, and as tightly as you can, roll up.
  • OPTIONAL: Serve immediately, or wrap up for lunches/picnics later.
  • OR: Heat the oil over a medium low heat in a sauté pan. Add the wraps and pan fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden, flip over and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until golden all over. Serve immediately. (Be sure that the heat is quite low so that the cheese has time to melt before the outside burns.)

Notes

Chicken: You can buy pre-cooked chicken for this or use leftover roast chicken. Alternatively, if you prefer and have time, you can simply roast chicken breasts until tender. Cheese: If I’m pan-frying these I like to use mozzarella so that they are nice and gooey. However, if I’m eating these unmelted, I prefer cheddar for flavour. Any cheese will work fine though.
