Every day the same question pops up “What to make for Lunch today?” and when the same question is asked on a weekend the response has to be something that’s not the usual and really delicious.
What better way to spice up the weekend lunch than with a Chicken Paratha Roll (Pakistani Flatbread Wrap) stuffed with flavorful chicken, pickled veggies and spicy chutneys. The best thing about it is, that its a wholesome meal and can be prepared with leftover chicken too. Its as simple as assembling it all together (if that makes sense)
For this recipe, I’ve made the Paratha (Flatbread) myself but you can always use store bought frozen paratha in case you don’t feel like making your own and keeping it all quick and simple.
As with all wraps, you can use filling of your choice. For me it had to be this spicy chicken cubes, with chutneys and pickled onions that were wrapped in the paratha roll and gave those zesty, zingy and spicy flavors that were sure to tickle those tastebuds!
