This yoghurt chicken wrap recipe was not my original intention when I was preparing for my instagram live. I had intended to just make a pepper chicken wrap but alas, we landed here and I was happy with the results. You are welcome to increase the spicy level of this recipe but this is a base recipe that you can improve on.
A few things to note for this recipe, be sure to use unsweetened plain yoghurt as you don’t want your chicken tasting like strawberry or vanilla or maybe you do lol. This chicken wrap is easy to make and you can substitute the vegetables for the ones you have at home to achieve this recipe. If you do not have yoghurt at home, you can soak your chicken in milk and vinegar. The reason I am soaking the chicken is to ensure the chicken does not come out dry.
If in the event you do not have any of the above at home, you can always season and stir fry your chicken as is but just ensure you do not overcook it so it is not dry. I have already shared the recipe for the flatbread used in this recipe in a separate post. Feel free to use whatever bread you have at home. You can also season the chicken however you prefer, i just used spices I had at home.
