Method

  1. Place chicken marinade ingredients in a large bowl, mix to combine, cover and refrigerate overnight
  2. The following day, preheat oven to 180°C. Line deep baking trays with baking paper, spread chicken out evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, slightly golden but not dry
  3. While chicken is cooking combine tomato salad ingredients in a large bowl, toss gently
  4. Combine tzatziki ingredients in a bowl, chill until needed. The longer the tzatziki sits the more the flavour develops
  5. Lay the wraps out flat, in the centre of each wrap place approximately 120g of chicken, 3 tbsp tomato salad, ½ cup shredded lettuce and 3 tbsp of tzatziki. Roll wrap tightly in sandwich wrap.
