A meal for 4 in under 30 minutes.
I cooked this meal on Friday for Sisters Ylisaari, Watt and Stewart. It was the most entertaining dinner appointment we have had in a while as the cleaners had deep cleaned the chairs which meant they were wet! So we had dinner standing around the island in the middle of the kitchen.

The beauty of this meal is that it is quick, tasty and can be enjoyed by all! Apart from vegetarians...obviously. It is something that I had at home with my parents for as long as I can remember.
As I was cooking for four I assumed it would average out on two wraps each and used an entire bag of potato wedges. Yes...I bought them. Remember; this is a meal in under 30 minutes. You can change the amount of ingredients to suit the amount of people you are cooking for.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying.
700g Chicken Breast meat.
Yoshida's Spicy Wing and Rib sauce* (Yoshidas-Spicy-Sauce-1304g-Bottle or can be purchased at Costco).
750g (a bag) Potato Wedges (I used lightly-spiced-wedges but any sort can be used).
10 cheese slices (any cheese).
10 cheese slices (any cheese).
Mayonnaise (or any other sauce. It doesn't need to be used, but I think it adds depth to the meal).
One onion, chopped.
Tortilla wraps (enough for at least two each).
Tortilla wraps (enough for at least two each).
*You don't necessarily need to use the sauce I used. You can use BBQ sauce, caesar sauce, spicy seasoning etc. Anything works!
Method
1. Turn on the oven to the temperature required for the potato wedges.
2. Set a frying pan onto the stove, add two tablespoons of vegetable oil and cook on a medium heat so the oil is hot for when you add the chicken.
3. Dice the chicken into small (dice sized) pieces and add to the frying pan and cook until lightly browned. This step usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
4. At the same time as you add the chicken to the frying pan, put the potato wedges into the oven. Remember to turn them every so often so that they crisp up nicely! NB: What time you put the potato wedges in depends on how long they take to cook.
5. Whilst the chicken and the potato wedges are cooking; peel the onion and chop it into bite sized pieces.
6. When the chicken looks almost cooked, add 4 tablespoons of Yoshida's sauce and mix.
7. Let the chicken and sauce cook for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on how long the chicken has been cooking) until you have a thick consistency*.
*If you are not using the Yoshida's sauce you can add the sauce of your choice at a similar time that I added the Yoshida's sauce. Unless it's caesar sauce, and then it can be drizzled on the plain chicken just before you close up your wrap.
When the chicken and potato wedges are cooked, you can serve them!
I always put them into dishes so whoever is eating can choose how much they want.
On the table I have tortilla wraps, mayonnaise and onion laid out; but it is entirely up to you how you do it.
When I make my own wrap, I put the mayonnaise on first, then the cheese, then the chicken and then the onion. Once that is all on, I fold it and eat it!
It is quite possibly the most simple meal that I enjoy making, and it is one of the most delicious. If you decide to try this out, let me know how it goes! I definitely recommend it.
