A Cozy Sandwich: Spiced Moroccan Chicken Wrap, A Kitchen Alchemist’s Portable Little Friend August 25, 2013 by Ingrid Beer 28 Comments Spiced Moroccan Chicken Wrap I’ll confess that I enjoy being a bit of a kitchen alchemist, and dabbling playfully in all of the many options available in my spice cabinet. I consider spices and various seasonings my “magical powders”, and get a thrill out of combining them with some good oil, herbs, citrus juices and zests, and blending them into some glorious elixirs that fragrantly infuse and flavor all sorts of willing candidates. For me, the more spices the better, especially when it comes to a simple meal such as a grilled chicken sandwich wrap; and because there are typically only a handful of ingredients in a “portable pal” of this sort, it creates the perfect vessel for those magical powders to heat things up and warm the soul, not to mention the taste buds. Spiced Moroccan Chicken WrapSave Spiced Moroccan Chicken WrapSave Deep, earthy spices such as cumin, cinnamon, ginger, coriander and turmeric are those precious spices that warm to the core; and when sprinkled over a simple chicken breast that has been lightly bathed in good olive oil plus a little squeeze of lemon, and are allowed to penetrate to its very center, create an amazingly rich and comforting balance of flavors, perfect for a luscious grab-n-go wrap. When grilled, the chicken takes on the succulent flavors of the slightly charred spices; and when paired with a mildly-sweet, tangy and rich eggplant, tomato and onion chutney topped with just a mild sprinkling of fresh, cool mint, plus a creamy, spicy hummus spread to tie everything together, then the result is the perfect little portable sandwich wrap to enjoy if you yourself are a kitchen alchemist, or at least like to eat like one. HummusSave Grilled Eggplant, Tomato, and Onion ChutneySave Spiced Moroccan Chicken WrapSave Oh the flavors that can be experienced with the many spices found on a market’s spice-shelves, or in your very own cabinet, if you’re a kitchen alchemist-type like me — flavors that will warm up any mood, and whisk you away to a place where bland does not exist, warming your belly and soul in the most delicious way possible. A “Spiced Moroccan Chicken Wrap” with all of the rich accoutrements within it is the perfect pick to experience some kitchen magic with, and to revel in the flavor of; it’s a simple yet unique meal, a perfectly “portable pal”, that you’ll be dreaming of enjoying, again and again. Taste what’s good and pass it on.
