Ingredients
-
500 grams Chicken breast (cut into thin strips)
-
2 medium Zucchini (thinly sliced into rounds)
-
30 grams Fresh coriander leaves (roughly chopped)
-
2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
-
to taste grams Salt
-
24 large Fresh basil leaves (for wrapping)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Chicken and Zucchini: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds to ensure they cook evenly and remain tender during cooking.
-
2.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips. Season with salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 75°C).
Ensure the chicken is cooked through; there should be no pink in the centre and juices should run clear.
-
3.
Add the Zucchini:
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet with the chicken. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp. Stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves just before removing from heat.
Avoid overcooking the zucchini; it should be tender yet maintain some crispness.
- 4. Assemble the Wraps: Take a large basil leaf and place a spoonful of the chicken and zucchini mixture onto the leaf. Gently fold the leaf over the filling to create a wrap. Repeat this step until all the mixture is used up.
- 5. Serve: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Serve immediately as a fresh, low-carb meal or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra coriander leaves for presentation.
