Method
- Toss the chicken in the seasoning, then add the oil and plenty of sea salt. Set aside.
- Split the cucumber lengthways, remove the seeds with a teaspoon, then roughly chop and put in a large bowl with all the salad ingredients. Mix the dressing ingredients, season, tip into the bowl and toss well. Tip onto a chopping board and chop until all the bits are around the same size (it’s easiest with a sharp knife in each hand). Taste and season, then chill.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan until smoking, then cook the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. If you have a gas hob, hold the wraps over the flame for 30 seconds on each side to puff up and blacken slightly. Otherwise, do this in a clean frying pan. Serve the chicken piled up with the salad and the wraps for everyone to dig into.
