Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 4 large flatbreads or tortillas
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (for serving)
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Spiced Chicken Roll

1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spiced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
4. While the cheese is melting, warm the flatbreads in a separate skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds, until warm and pliable.
5. To assemble the rolls, place a generous portion of the spiced chicken and melted cheese mixture onto each flatbread. Roll them up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
6. Serve the spiced chicken rolls warm, with a side of plain yogurt for dipping. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the chicken is cut into small, even pieces for consistent cooking.
• Feel free to adjust the spices according to your heat preference.
• Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.
• If you enjoy a crunch, add some sliced bell peppers or lettuce to the filling before rolling.

Easy Variations

• Swap chicken with ground turkey or beef for a different protein option.
• Add sautéed onions and bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
• Use whole grain or gluten-free flatbreads for a healthier option.
• Top the rolls with salsa or hot sauce for a spicy kick.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh salad with mixed greens and a light vinaigrette.
• Crispy potato wedges or sweet potato fries for a comforting side.
• A bowl of soup, such as tomato or lentil, for a heartier meal.
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
