This recipe was created by: Serena Caner for Shuswap Food Action Society
Ingredients
- 50 – 10” tortillas
- 5 kg (11 lbs) whole chickens, roasted & shredded (about 12 cups)*
- 7 heads romaine lettuce (35 cups), chopped
- 7 bunches kale (20 cups)
- 375 ml caesar dressing
- 250 ml parmesan cheese
- 160 g garlic croutons
- 2- 540 ml cans chickpeas, drained
- 40 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
*can also use chicken breasts
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and roast in oven for about 1.5 hours. Alternatively, place in an Instant pot with 1 cup chicken stock and cook high for 7 mins per pound. Allow natural release** 15 minutes before removing. Check internal temperature. Once cooked, cut or shred chicken into pieces and reserve stock for another use.
Step 2
Heat oil on high and add drained chickpeas and salt to a medium frying pan. Cook and stir often for 15 minutes, until golden. Then set aside to cool (they will become more crisp as they cool).
Step 3
Wash and dry kale in salad spinner. Massage kale with your hands to soften the leaves. Toss with romaine lettuce and dressing and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Toss in chickpeas and croutons.
Step 4
In each wrap add ¼ cup or 60 ml chicken with just over a cup of salad mixture. Roll and serve.
**A natural release of a pressure cooker is when you let the pressure release slowly on its own at the end of the cooking time, without pushing a pressure release button. This can take 10-30 minutes.
HACCP
- Cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 82° C for whole chicken or 74˚C for chicken pieces for a minimum of 15 secs.
- Cooling: cut cooked chicken into smaller pieces to ensure quick cooling. Cool in the fridge: from 74° C to 20° C in 2 hours AND from 20° C to 4° C within the next 4 hours. If not achieved, throw out.
- Cold Holding: When cooled to 4° C, cover and store at 4° C. If more than 4° C for 2 hours, throw out.
- Reheating: Reheat to 74° C in less than 2 hours. If reheating takes more than 2 hours, throw out.
