Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Put the chicken strips in a large bowl, then add all the remaining ingredients for the chicken (apart from the spray). Mix well to fully coat the chicken in the spices.

2
Phase 2

Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Add the chicken and gently fry for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (there should be no signs of pinkness and the juices should run clear).

3
Phase 3

Combine the yoghurt, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4
Phase 4

Arrange a handful of iceberg lettuce on each wrap, and divide the pickled cabbage between the two. Place the chicken on the pickled cabbage, then top with chopped tomatoes and onions. Roll up the wraps, cut each one in half, then serve.
