Picnic Food - Paprika Chicken & Walnut Wraps

Despite the rainy weather I think everyone needs a good recipe for picnic food. And with my pledge to take snacks wherever we go, I trawled through recipes and came up with this beauty.

Paprika Chicken & Walnut Wraps

3 chicken breast fillets (600g)

1 tbsp mustard powder

1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup walnut halves, chopped finely

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 finely chopped basil leaves

salt & pepper

6 wholemeal Lebanese breads

60g baby rocket leaves

1. Combine chicken, mustard, paprika and oil. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
2. Heat frying pan over medium heat and cook chicken until brown on both sides and cooked through. Set aside for 20mins to cool.
3. Combine shredded chicken, walnuts, mayonnaise and basil. Season with salt & pepper.
4. Spoon equal amounts of mixture onto bread. Top with rocket leaves and roll up to enclose filling.

Isn't it funny when you write out a recipe you see the steps or ingredients that you changed.

This is what I did...

• I used chicken thighs instead of breasts
• I marinated the chicken overnight
• I used the parsley which is in my garden instead of the basil which I would have had to buy.
• I made flour tortillas instead of the Lebanese bread. We also had the leftover on some Turkish bread I had in the bread basket

Definitely file this one to take on your next picnic.
