Delicious Peri Peri Rice and Chicken Wrap with things you probably already have on hand.
My alarm went off at 6 am this morning and by 7:23 I was on the train on my way to work. Do you wake up this early and is it still dark outside at that ungodly hour where you live?
If you answered yes and yes read on because there is still hope albeit little and food related but hope nonetheless. I started at my new job today, which was exciting for so many reasons…mainly I love teaching, also I work in the coolest area of London and finally, who doesn’t love a steady pay cheque!
Let’s go back to working in a cool area…it’s all good and fun but having so many lunch options are going to be perilous for my waistline AND will do damage to that aforementioned steady pay cheque. Here is when this fabulous Peri Peri Rice and Chicken Wrap makes an entrance and a pretty spectacular one at that!
With me accepting a new teaching positing life just got super busy again. I am not going to delve into details but to make a long story short here is the gist-I don’t really stop working until it’s time to go to bed.
I am either teaching, lesson planning or recipe developing, writing or photographing it, it’s ON all the time, so you won’t be too surprised to know that sometimes shortcuts in the kitchen is my favourite thing in the world, like this microwaveable rice from Veetee.
Tons of different flavours present loads of options for lunch or dinner and it doesn’t hurt that it tastes great. You know I won’t lie to you when it comes to food.
The best news though-no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, which really helps not to be overcome with that mummy guilt.
It’s good stuff and the Peri Peri Rice and chicken Wrap I’m sharing today is better than good. It’s fantastic! Also no cooking involved, just assembling. 🙂
What you need for this delicious Peri Peri Rice and Chicken Wrap are the things you probably already have on hand . Veettee Peri Peri rice, roast chicken, which I bought cooked, cherry tomatoes, avocado, feta cheese, parsley.

What a brilliant idea! I love the Veetee rice trays, they’re so convenient (I love not having to dirty a pan, haha). Love the sound of the spicy yogurt sauce too!
These look so fresh and vibrant! And the photos are stunning, they really pop 🙂 I’ve never actually tried microwave rice but I am all for quick and easy meals so I really should give it a go x
Thanks, Hannah! That was my first time trying microwave rice and I didn’t expect much but I was so pleasantly surprised by the flavour and the texture!! xx
These wraps look so good, I’m all for a colorful and delicious lunch that’s easy too!
Thanks, Laura!! 🙂
This looks delicious and so quick. I have the rice and the wraps – may just make this at work tomorrow! The photos are completely stunning – they fairly jump out of the computer screen. Must be the new camera?
Hahaha definitely the camera ;-). Thank you, Lucy! I put all of my favourite things in this wrap, so it’s no wonder I loved it but it could be easily customisable!
