Method
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Chicken
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (fan). While the oven is heating up, take your chicken breast and wrap it loosely in foil. This will help keep the chicken tender and juicy during the cooking process. Once your oven is ready, place the wrapped chicken on a baking tray and bake it for about 18-20 minutes. While the chicken cooks, you can prepare the sauce and other ingredients.
Make the BBQ Sauce Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of tomato purée, 2 tablespoons of reduced sugar BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed. This sweet and tangy sauce will coat your shredded chicken perfectly, giving it that irresistible flavor.
Shred the Chicken
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. This step is important to prevent burns when shredding the chicken. After it’s cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
Mix the Shredded Chicken with the BBQ Sauce
Now that the chicken is shredded, add it to the bowl with your BBQ sauce mixture. Stir well to ensure that every piece of chicken is coated with the flavorful sauce. The combination of honey, BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce creates a tangy, sweet, and savory flavor profile that will elevate the wraps to the next level.
Assemble the Wraps
Take your tortillas and place them on a flat surface. Begin by adding a small amount of cheese (about 10g per wrap) to each tortilla. Next, add some fresh spinach and sliced cherry tomatoes for extra crunch and flavor. Finally, spoon a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture onto each wrap, spreading it evenly across the tortilla.
Toast the Wraps
To get your wraps crispy and golden, you can use either a toastie machine or a pan. If you’re using a pan, preheat it on medium heat and place the wrap in the pan, folding it over to seal. Toast it for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. If you’re using a toastie machine, simply place the assembled wraps inside and toast until golden brown.
