Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb chicken breast boneless, skinless, butterflied
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeno cored, seeded, and sliced
  • 1 tsp peppercorns whole
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ tsp curry powder

Yogurt dressing

Other

  • 1 cup spinach fresh
  • 6 tortilla shells
  • cup cashews coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • 2 Roma tomatoes seeded, cored, diced

Instructions

Prepare the chicken:

  • In a skillet on medium heat, place chicken, salt, cilantro, jalapeño, peppercorns, bay leaf, and curry powder. Add 1 cup of water, stir and cover. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F. Flip the chicken over half way through the cooking time.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and place on a cutting board and allow it to come to room temperature. Discard liquid and solids.
    Place in the refrigerator and cool completely. 

Prepare the yogurt sauce:

  • While the chicken cooks, mix yogurt, curry, allspice, and salt in a bowl. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use. 

Prepare the chicken filling:

  • When the chicken is cold, cut into small pieces and place in a bowl. Slowly mix in the yogurt sauce and coat evenly. 
  • Next, mix in the diced onions, and tomatoes.

Assemble the wraps:

  • Place a few spinach leaves on top of the tortilla shell.
    Evenly distribute the chicken salad on top of the spinach, then sprinkle with the chopped cashews.
  • Fold in the two sides so they overlap, then roll from the bottom up.
  • Slice each wrap diagonally.
