Grilled Chicken Wraps with Zhoggiu

Ready in 20 minutes, this Grilled Chicken Wraps with Zhoggiu is a great lunchtime option on the go. Zhoggiu is a Sicilian mint and nut pesto that adds moisture and a delicious Mediterranean taste.

Ingredients

• 75 g (2½ oz) ready-grilled chicken, shredded
• 1 wholemeal tortilla wrap
• 20 g (1 cup) rocket (arugula)
• 3-4 cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped

Zhoggiu

• 10 g (1 tbsp) blanched almonds
• 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
• A handful of flat-leaf parsley
• A handful of mint leaves
• 1 tsp white balsamic or sherry vinegar
• ½ tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Toast the almonds in a small frying pan over a low-medium heat, until they are slightly golden. Transfer to a chopping board to cool. Put into a food processor along with the remaining Zhoggiu ingredients, except the olive oil. Pulse until combined but not completely smooth, retaining a little texture.
2. Add the olive oil to the mixture and drizzle until it emulsifies and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce seems a too thick, add in 1-1½ tbsp of water. Scrape into a large bowl and season to taste. Add the shredded chicken and toss with the sauce to coat. Season.
3. Lay out the tortilla wraps and top each with the rocket and cherry tomatoes. Add the chicken mixture and wrap the tortilla. Wrap in foil if not eating straight away.

Additional Toppings

Top with sprouts, additional herbs of choice, bell peppers, onions or feta cheese.
