Easy Indian Chicken Salad Wrap
These Chicken wraps are easy to make and so delicious.
Making a few extra wraps makes sense, so that you can have them over 2-3 days and don’t have to worry about cooking.
They are ideal for picnics, parties and a speedy lunch for the kids.
They can be made ahead too! Either the entire wrap or just the filling.
Just keep them in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.
If like me, you don’t always have time to measure, feel free to just add ingredients by eye and taste as you go along.
Use your favourite accompaniments and vary as you like. More on that below.

Shred or cut the Chicken to the size you like but don't make the pieces too large.

As tempting as it is, don’t add too much filling to the wraps. I can’t tell you the number of times I have done it. The wraps just end up falling apart.

The wraps made up will also keep for the same length of time.
