During my time in Scotland, I worked a few different jobs, but one of my favorites was at a cozy little café called Mulberries in Kirkcudbright, which was about 8 miles from my hometown, Gatehouse of Fleet. They had a great variety of dishes, but my go-to was always the Cajun Chicken Wrap. It was quick, easy to make, and absolutely delicious—perfect for a lunch break. Lately, I’ve found myself craving those wraps, so I decided to try making them at home. I thought it would be a great recipe to share with you all.
The best part? These wraps take no time at all—about 10-15 minutes—and you’ve got a tasty lunch ready to go!
Ingredients:
Chicken (I used breast)
Cajun spice
Salt
Pepper
Wraps (original, white)
Lettuce
Mayo (normal (full-fat))
Before I dive into the recipe, just a quick note: feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences. For instance, if you prefer wholemeal wraps over the classic white ones, go ahead and swap them out! The same goes for the mayo—while I personally like the regular full-fat variety, you could easily switch it for a garlic-flavored version, a lighter option, or whatever suits your taste. It’s all about making it your own!
Please also note for this recipe I don't use measurements - just wing it!!
Method:
Step 1
In a bowl - add some olive oil, a pinch (or grind in my case) of salt and pepper and a good shake of cajun spice. Mix this with a fork. In regards to the chicken you can either cut it into bite-size pieces or big slices - it's up to you.
Step 2
Add the chicken to the bowl and mix together until the mixture has coated all the chicken.
Step 3
Using a griddle frying pan, add the chicken to the pan and cook on a medium heat. Make sure to turn the chicken half way through cooking to ensure even cooking. If you have gone with bite-sized pieces then these cook very quickly. Larger pieces may take longer.
