Chicken Kebabs
  • 1
    Place chicken in a large bowl and combine with remaining ingredients.
  • 2
    Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and pan-fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes, tossing continuously to cook it on all sides. Alternatively, you can grill it on a hot barbecue plate.
  • 3
    Lightly chargrill the wraps to make folding easier. Work quickly while the wraps are still warm.
  • 4
    Lay one spinach wrap on a clean bench top. Spread with a thin layer of sunflower-seed hummus. Place some of the torn lettuce and rocket across the centre of wrap with a little of the prepared vegetables. Add either falafel, fish or chicken and a little tabbouleh as well. Scatter a few sprouts and nuts on top.

    Fold over two sides, then the side nearest to you to enclose the filling, tucking as you go. Continue to roll up tightly. Cut in half to serve. Serve with garlic yoghurt and chilli sauce.
