Instructions on how to make this Spinach Chicken Wrap

Step 1: Make the Spinach Dough

Blend the spinach with a little water until smooth. (Health benefit of Spinach)

In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and whole milk. Pour in the blended spinach and mix until it forms a soft dough. Knead gently until smooth.

Cover the dough and allow it to rest while you prepare the chicken.


Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Season your chicken breast (nutrition benefits of chicken breast) generously to lock in flavor and moisture.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until tender and fully cooked through. Once done, allow it to rest briefly before slicing or shredding.


Step 3: Roll and Cook the Wraps

Divide the rested dough into smaller portions.

Using a rolling pin, roll each portion into a round wrap. Make sure it’s not too thick so it cooks evenly.

Lightly grease a pan and place the rolled dough onto it. Once bubbles begin to form on the surface, flip it. Cook both sides until lightly golden this should take about 3–4 minutes per wrap.

Repeat with the remaining dough.


Step 4: Prepare the Spinach Sauce

Blend together spinach, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sweet chili sauce, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

This sauce adds creaminess, tang, and just a touch of sweetness that brings everything together beautifully.


Step 5: Assemble the Wrap

Lay your spinach wrap flat.

Add your cooked chicken, fresh vegetables of choice, and drizzle generously with the spinach sauce.

Wrap it up tightly, slice if desired, and enjoy immediately.

Storage Tips

  • Store cooked wraps (without vegetables and sauce) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze plain cooked wraps by placing parchment paper between each wrap. Freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Warm wraps lightly in a dry pan or microwave for 20–30 seconds before assembling.
  • Store sauce separately in a sealed container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Pro Tips

  • Don’t roll the dough too thick – thinner wraps cook better and stay flexible.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • You can grill the assembled wrap for 1–2 minutes for a slightly crispy finish.
  • Store extra wraps in an airtight container and reheat lightly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?

Yes. Simply add 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt to every 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the wraps and chicken in advance, but assemble just before serving to keep vegetables fresh and crisp.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely. Replace the chicken with grilled mushrooms, tofu, chickpeas, or roasted vegetables.

How do I keep the wrap from breaking?

Roll the dough thin but not too thin, and avoid overcooking. Proper resting time also helps create a soft, flexible wrap.
