RAS-EL-HANOUT CHICKEN WRAPS WITH A YOGHURT SAUCE

Ingredients
  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 heaped tbsp ras-el-hanout spice mix
  • 7-8 tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt
  • to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • to taste
  • rocket or lettuce leaves
  • to serve
  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • 400g/14oz full-fat Greek yoghurt
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint
  • finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp sumac
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  • For the ras-el-hanout chicken wraps
  • cut the thick side of each chicken breast horizontally to even out the thickness of each breast and ensure they cook evenly. In a small bowl
  • mix the ras-el-hanout with 4-5 tablespoons of the olive oil to create a paste. Smear the paste over the chicken breasts
  • ensuring they are well coated. Season each breast with a pinch of sea salt
  • cover with cling film and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to a few hours.
  • To make the yoghurt sauce
  • put the yoghurt
  • fresh mint and sumac in a small serving bowl. Season with a generous pinch of sea salt and some black pepper. Mix well until the sumac and mint are evenly incorporated.
  • For the ras-el-hanout chicken wraps
  • preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the chicken breasts (you may want to use two pans at a time if cooking all four chicken breasts at once). Fry the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on one side and 6-8 minutes on the other side. You can check how cooked the chicken is by prodding the fattest part of the chicken strips with your finger - if it feels very springy then it needs to cook a bit longer. Check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest part with a skewer or small knife. If the juices run clear and the flesh is no longer pink then the chicken is cooked and ready to serve. Place your cooked chicken on a chopping board and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  • To serve
  • put a few strips of chicken on each tortilla wrap
  • add a dollop of the yoghurt sauce and then drizzle with pomegranate molasses. Add some rocket or lettuce leaves
  • roll up the tortillas and serve.
