Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

2 Place chicken, oil, honey, lemon zest and juice in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing well to coat chicken. Cover with cling wrap, transfer to fridge and allow to marinate for 30 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, to make mustard tzatziki, squeeze excess liquid from grated cucumber. Place all ingredients in a bowl, mixing well to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

4 Place chicken on prepared tray and cook for 25 minutes or until cooked through. When cool enough to handle, thinly slice.

5 Place wraps in a hot frying pan and heat for 1 minute on each side or until lightly toasted. Divide among serving plates. Spread 1 heaped tablespoon of tzatziki over each wrap. Top with tomato, chicken and cucumber, then serve with lemon wedges.

HFG tip

Use leftover mustard tzatziki as a dip for raw vegies. Store it an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
