Moroccan Wraps With Chicken and Halloumi

I came up with this recipe for my first food stand back in my local village fete of Sherfield on Loddon, and the Moroccan wraps down an absolute treat! The frequent feedback received on the day was that they were ‘refreshing‘, ‘deliciously simple‘, and ‘the perfect work lunch option’ Rather than keeping the recipe to myself, I wanted to share it with you to brighten up your next meal. Give it a try this weekend and give your taste buds a wake-up call.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thigh, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp Ras-el-Hanout (recipe)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 200g halloumi, sliced
  • 4 flatbread wraps (recipe)
  • 100g mixed salad leaves
  • 150g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp harissa paste
  • tbsp fresh mint
  • 40g Pinkled onions (recipe)
  • 4 tsp Pomegranate seeds

Biff's Tips

  • Marinate for longer. 10 minutes works, but the longer you leave the chicken, the better.
  • Make it veggie. Swap the chicken for my Moroccan veggie tagine and enjoy it for dinner, then lunch the next day.
  • Add a slaw. A quick red cabbage and carrot slaw adds crunch and more plants.

Let's Dive In!

Step 1: Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, mix 4 sliced chicken thighs with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp ras el hanout, ½ tsp salt, half the juice of 1 lemon and a spoonful of the Greek yoghurt. Leave for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make the yoghurt dressing

In a small bowl, whisk the rest of the 150g Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of olive oil, the rest of the lemon juice and 1 tsp harissa paste.

Step 3: Flatbreads

Make 4 flatbreads with my easy flatbread recipe, or buy some good ones.

Step 4: Let's get cooking

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through. Lift out, then fry 200g sliced halloumi until golden on both sides.

Step 5: Make the wraps

Wipe the pan and warm the flatbreads in it for 30 seconds per side. Top with 100g mixed salad leaves, the halloumi and chicken. Drizzle with the dressing and finish with a tbsp of fresh mint, 4 tsp pomegranate seeds and 40g pinkled onions. Wrap tightly in greaseproof paper or foil and enjoy!

Moroccan Wrap FAQs

  • What is ras el hanout? A warm North African spice blend. Make your own with my ras el hanout recipe.
  • Are these good for lunchboxes? Yes. Wrapped tightly, they make a perfect work lunch. Keep the dressing separate until you eat.
  • Can I barbecue the chicken? Absolutely. Grill it over medium-hot coals for about 10 minutes, turning often.
