Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts (cooked) About 600g, see notes
325 g Sweetcorn (1x tin) Drained
1/2 Red onion Finely chopped
100 g Cream cheese
2 tbsp Barbecue sauce
125 g Grated mozzarella (or cheddar) See notes
4 Large wraps
1 tbsp Sunflower oil Optional for frying
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

If you're using whole chicken breasts or chunks of meat, shred the chicken breasts either using 2 forks or a mixer (as I did in my video - fun and useful hack!)
Put the chicken into a large bowl and mix with the sweetcorn, onion, cream cheese, barbecue sauce, cheese and salt ad pepper. Mix well until combined.
Divide the mixture between the wraps, dolloping it in the middle.
Fold the sides of the wrap inwards, and as tightly as you can, roll up.

OPTIONAL:

Serve immediately, or wrap up for lunches/picnics later.

OR:

Heat the oil over a medium low heat in a saute pan. Add the wraps and pan fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden, flip over and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until golden all over. Serve immediately. (Be sure that the heat is quite low so that the cheese has time to melt before the outside burns.)

Notes

Chicken: You can buy pre-cooked chicken for this or use leftover roast chicken. Alternatively, if you prefer and have time, you can simply roast chicken breasts until tender.

Cheese: If I’m pan-frying these I like to use mozzarella so that they are nice and gooey. However, if I’m eating these unmelted, I prefer cheddar for flavour. Any cheese will work fine though.
