Crispy Chicken Wrap

For Frozen Food Week I made this delicious Crispy Chicken Wrap recipe with Chunky Salsa. The post is sponsored by the British Frozen Food Federation and the recipe by Fresh From the Freezer is linked below. #AD

Crispy Chicken Wrap

With the kids back at school, we are busier than ever. That means we don’t always have time to cook a fresh meal. On those days, the freezer comes in handy!

We buy frozen ready products like these Goujons that we used in the Chunky Chicken Salsa Wrap Recipe from FreshFromTheFreezer.

Knowing that we have options in the freezer, not only helps us to produce delicious meals, it means we avoid waste too.

The Chicken Goujons can be deep fried or oven baked and the Salsa is made with few ingredients.

We plan meals like this into our week and know that we can simply prepare on the day without having to worry about a fast approaching use by date.

Freezing leftovers and using ready Chicken Breasts like these means we are less likely to throw leftovers away. Any we don’t use can simply be popped back in the freezer. Which means we save money too.

Ingredients Needed

Red Onion
Tomato
Garlic

Why use Frozen Food

The BFFF want to encourage consumers to reduce their household waste by using frozen food. Frozen Food Week is taking place between the 5th - 11th September 2022.

Every year 4.5 million tonnes of edible food is thrown away. One way to counteract this is to use frozen food.

There are many ways to do this. 3 of which are:

1 - Reducing Food Waste - Many of our favourite foods can be purchased frozen and any leftovers can be frozen to eat at a later date.

2 - Convenience - In the case of frozen products such as Fish Fingers and Chicken Goujons, most of the work is already done which means you save time when making them.

3 - Save the Planet - The carbon associated with food that can be eaten but is thrown away is equivalent to that generated by 1 in 5 cars on UK roads.

WRAP research shows we now (2018) throw away 6.6 million tonnes of household food waste a year in the UK!

Of the 6.6 million tonnes we throw away, almost three quarters (70% of the total) is food we could have eaten (4.5 million tonnes).
