Ingredients
  

  • 600 g boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced horizontally into thin, even pieces for quick cooking
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika adds gentle warmth and colour
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder for savoury depth
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder balances the spice blend
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes adjust to taste preference
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper for mild heat
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil used to coat and cook the chicken
  • ½ cup chilli paste sambal oelek or Italian-style chilli paste for heat
  • ¼ cup olive oil creates a smooth, pourable sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice adds brightness and acidity
  • ½ teaspoon fresh garlic finely minced for punchy flavour
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger finely minced for warmth
  • ½ teaspoon caster sugar balances spice and acidity
  • Sea salt flakes season sauce to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper adds sharpness
  • 4 pita bread wraps or preferred wrap style warmed before assembling
  • ⅓ cup whole-egg mayonnaise for creaminess and richness
  • 4 slices gouda cheese or another good melting cheese
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce finely shredded for crunch
  • Chips or fries optional for serving alongside

Method
 

  1. Combine the sliced chicken with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a bowl, tossing until evenly coated.
  2. Cook the chicken using your preferred method until golden and fully cooked, ensuring it remains juicy.
  3. Stir all chilli sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth and well blended.
  4. Gently heat the wraps until soft and pliable, then spread mayonnaise onto each one.
  5. Layer cheese onto the wraps, top with hot chicken so the cheese softens, then add lettuce, chilli sauce, and extra mayo before rolling tightly.
