A lunchbox with a chicken wrap, chopped mango and strawberries, a pot of popcorn and a small bottle of orange juice

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon low-fat Greek style yoghurt
  • ¼ teaspoon of curry powder, to taste
  • large pinch of chilli powder, to taste
  • 85g cooked chicken breast, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 large wholemeal wrap
  • small wedge of lettuce, to give 2 tablespoons when shredded
  • 3 slices of cucumber, chopped
  • 1 slice of pepper, chopped

Complete your lunchbox with:

  • peach and strawberry slices
  • homemade popcorn (flavoured with cinnamon, for example)
  • 150ml fruit juice drink (with no added sugar)

Method

  1. Mix the yoghurt and spices to taste and add the chicken.

    Information:

    This is a great way to use leftover roast chicken.

  2. Spread the chicken mixture on the wrap, then sprinkle on the lettuce, cucumber and pepper.

    Information:

    Try other salad vegetables – grated carrot and chopped celery work well, too.

  3. Fold opposite edges of the wrap, to keep the filling in, then roll up and cut in half.
