Chicken Katsu Wrap with Tangy Sauce

Chicken Katsu Wrap

This Chicken Katsu Wrap recipe combines crispy chicken with a fresh and tangy red cabbage slaw, wrapped in a soft tortilla and enhanced with a tangy sauce.

The chicken has a satisfying crunch from the panko coating, which gives way to the juicy, flavourful meat inside. The red cabbage slaw is fresh and crunchy, providing a sharp contrast to the soft, warm tortilla and crispy chicken. The tangy sauce adds a subtle kick to bring the dish together.

Enjoy these Chicken Katsu Wraps warm, perfect for a satisfying lunch or light dinner.

NB - Wraps can greatly differ in size ie Mission wholegrain wrap is 71 g and an additional 50 calories per person

Do not overcrowd the frying pan when cooking the chicken and use a light spray of olive oil in addition if required

* The sesame oil and almonds can be eliminated to reduce calorie intake if a larger wrap with higher calories is used
