Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Chicken and mushroom turnovers

A creamy chicken and mushroom filling, sealed in a golden wrap.

Rico's note: Seal the edges well with a fork — cut corners on this step and you'll lose half the filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole-wheat wrap (70 g / 2½ oz) — cut into 2–3 pieces
  • 100 g (3½ oz) chicken, shredded or chopped (cooked)
  • 50 g (1¾ oz) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (3 g)
  • ½ chopped onion (50 g / 1¾ oz)
  • olive oil, as needed
  • 100 g (3½ oz) reduced-fat whipped fresh cheese (or low-fat Greek yogurt)
  • salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, to taste
  • 1 egg yolk, for brushing (18 g / ¾ oz)

Method

  1. Spray a skillet with olive oil and sauté the garlic, onion and mushrooms until golden.
  2. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
