Gluten Free Wraps with Collard Greens
In this recipe, we use a potent blend of herbs and spices - rosemary, oregano, ground ginger, and turmeric - to marinate the chicken; both to add antioxidants to the dish, as well as to protect the chicken from any damage from the cooking process (although we cook on medium to minimize the effects as well!). Our Spicy Wrawp Gluten Free Wraps help to bring the flavour to the max level.
