Variations
Sara, Oxfordshire says: 'I love this and serve it all the time, especially if fussy small children are coming to tea. They can just fill it with the bits they like and leave out the bits they don't like. Though they do often find it so much fun that they forget that they don't like vegetables. I like to watch their parents' jaws drop at what their kids have just eaten!
You can use just about any veg in it, raw or lightly cooked and any sort of meat (or refried beans for vegetarians). I find that the more variety I offer, the more veg the kids will actually eat: put out some grated carrot, spinach, mangetout, broccoli, tomatoes, nuts and beansprouts and each kid might only select half the foods but it still adds up to a lot of vegetables they are eating. They just can't resist including lots of different items because it is so fun to sprinkle it on and wrap it up. I serve it with salsa and soured cream but most kids won't eat the salsa.'
Crissy, Kingston says: 'It's even easier if you make a foil bag and pop chicken breasts in with either a splash of water or my fave balsamic vinegar and pop in the oven, then there's no fat at all. I use those little glass ramekins you get posh mini choc puds in and fill loads with different veg and cheese. The kids love it and the mums can't believe what I get their darlings to eat.
Hold some chicken pieces back and stir fry them with some paprika for the grown up version. They are so quick to cook you can still all eat together. Throw all leftovers into a big bowl and use as salad for yourself the next day.'

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.I like to marinade the chicken in honey & lemon before grilling - adds a lovely touch of flavour. I always include mixed peppers in the veg too - great for adding colour.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Easy to make & something which we can all enjoy! Adding a little bit of pesto to the chicken while cooking makes me a tasty variation. I tend to serve everything separately & we all build our own :)
