Method
Poach the chicken2 in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked (no pink inside), then cool and slice into 1 cm thick matchsticks.
Drain the chickpeas2, then blend with lemon7 juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth, adding water as needed to reach a thick paste.
Warm the lavash on a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds until pliable, then spread a 2–3 mm layer of hummus over it.
Lay a line of lettuce down the center, followed by chicken2, carrot4, and cucumber5.
Roll the lavash tightly into a log, slice into 2–3 cm thick pieces, and serve.
Tips
- Why it works
- Boil chicken for exactly 15 minutes to avoid dryness; overcooking makes it tough and chewy. Use a timer.
- Substitutions
- Replace cucumber with bell pepper strips (60g) for crunch; swap hummus for mashed chickpeas (60g) with lemon juice.
- Common mistakes
- If lavash cracks while rolling, it’s too dry. Warm it longer next time. Notice by seeing splits or uneven layers.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or store for 2 days in the fridge; reheat in a dry pan for 2 minutes per side. Freezing ruins lavash crispness.
- Serve with
- Pair with a side of plain yogurt (50g) for extra protein; eat as a quick office lunch with a black coffee.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
