Description
Sticky hoisin chicken wraps with all the flavours of crispy duck pancakes – lighter, leaner, and ready in no time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 skinless chicken thigh fillets (approx. 700–750g / 1lb 8oz total), excess fat trimmed away
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, plus extra for spreading in the wraps
- Spray oil ( or low-calorie cooking spray)
- 4 tortilla wraps (medium, approx. 50g each)
- 1 Little Gem lettuce, shredded
- ½ cucumber (approx. 150g), cut into matchsticks
- 6 spring onions, finely sliced lengthways
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan (475°F), Gas Mark 9.
- Splay the chicken thigh fillets open and place them in a single layer on a baking tray. Spread the 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce over them to cover, then spray lightly with oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then finely slice the thighs with a sharp knife.
- Spread a little extra hoisin sauce on the inside of each tortilla wrap. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, then top with the sliced chicken, cucumber matchsticks and spring onions, then wrap up and serve. Alternatively, place all the elements in the middle of the table and let everyone build their own!
Notes
- This is a light meal on its own — you may wish to add a side of steamed rice, egg fried rice or stir-fried vegetables to make it more substantial.
- Chinese pancakes can be used instead of tortilla wraps if you can find them. Mini tortillas are great for young children.
- Slimming World: Hoisin sauce is approximately 1.5–2 syns per tablespoon. With roughly 3 tablespoons used across 4 servings, that’s around 1.5–2 syns per person from the sauce. Tortilla wraps can vary, bit you can pick up some brands which are a Healthy Extra B – use the Slimming World app to check.
- GLP-1 tip: If your appetite is smaller than usual, serve one wrap per portion with a generous pile of the fresh fillings – the chicken is tender and easy to eat, and you’ll still get a great protein hit even from a smaller portion.
- Not suitable for freezing once assembled, but the cooked sliced chicken freezes very well on its own for up to 3 months.
