Chicken to make chicken wraps

1 tbsp sunflower oil
185 gms chopped chicken breast
3 garlic cloves
Chilli flakes
1/2 tsp garam masala (will be able to find it in indian section)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 medium onion chopped lengthwise

1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness with the handle or flat of a knife. I use rolling pin.

2. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken.

3. Mix about a half teaspoon of salt in with the flour along with a little pepper.

4. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, so that they are just lightly dusted with flour.

5. Heat the sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it is quite hot, add the oil.

6. Turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic, chilli flakes and sauté. Add the onions when garlic is about to turn brownish and sauté until soft, add garam masala and after 10 secs or so, add chicken. Cook for just about 1 minute to help them get a little golden (you are not actually searing or browning them).

7. Turn the heat to low. Put the lid on the pan. Set a timer for 5 minutes, and walk away. Do not lift the lid; do not peek.

8. After 5 minutes have elapsed, turn off the heat. Reset the timer for 5 minutes and leave the chicken breasts in the pan. Again, do not lift the lid; do not peek.

9. After the 5 minutes are up, take the lid off, and tada! Soft, tender, juicy chicken that aren't dried out in the least. Doublecheck them to make sure there is no pink in the middle. Slice and eat.

10. Serve on phulkas. Use green chutney and salad to make it moister and crunchier. Meal should be around 400kcal if using low cal wraps, is high protein and low carb.
