Chicken Wraps With Nam Jihm Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Coat the lettuce in some Dressing and reserve the remaining Dressing for serving on the side.
• To assemble a wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile about 1 1/2 ounces dressed lettuce on the lower third of the tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 slices chicken (more or less, as desired) then sprinkle with the Parmesan crisps. Fold the wrap over the filling, tuck in the sides and continue to roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lettuce, chicken and Parmesan crisps.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
• Remove the wraps to a work surface. Cut in half on a bias and serve with additional Dressing for dipping.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it is too thick.
• Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the outside and in the cavity of the chicken and rub into and underneath the skin. Place on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire, then schmear the mixture all over the chicken. Roast the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, begin checking at around 50 minutes. (If the skin gets too dark, tent with aluminum foil.) Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• In a medium bowl, add the cheese and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the cheese evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, crispy and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then break up into shards.

Steps:

• Make the Nam Jihm dressing. Using a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, ginger, coriander and garlic with the salt.
• Add to this the limejuice, sugar and fish sauce. It should taste hot, sour and sweet.
• For the wraps, mix the chicken together with the remaining wrap ingredients and stir in 2 tablespoons of the Nam Jihm dressing.
• Spoon the mixture into the chosen leaves, sprinkle with the rice powder and serve immediately.
• Cooks Notes:.
• Nam Jihm means chilli lime.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the beans, cook for 30 secs, then scoop out with a slotted spoon and plunge straight into cold water. Bring the water back to the boil, add the chicken breasts, then reduce the heat to a gentle bubble. After 3 mins, remove the pan from the heat but leave the chicken to continue poaching for 10 mins. Check the chicken is cooked through, then drain or poach for a few mins more if necessary.
• Peel the pineapple and cut through the core into quarters. Cut out and discard the core, then thinly slice. Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Brush the pineapple slices with a little oil and cook for 1-2 mins each side until charred and just starting to soften. Transfer to a plate.
• For the dressing, put the chillies in a small bowl, cover with kettle-hot water and set aside for 5 mins. Put the sugar, garlic and coriander in a mortar and pound to a paste with a pestle. Drain the chilli, add to the mortar, then pound again. Stir in the remaining dressing ingredients and taste to make sure you have a good balance of hot, sweet, sour and salty - adjust with more chilli, sugar, lime or sh sauce, if you like.
• Shred the chicken and pile onto a platter with the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with the dressing and toss together just before serving.
