In association with Cathedral City
These Easy Cheesy Pulled Chicken Wraps made with Cathedral City Mature Cheddar, slow cooked pulled chicken thighs and your favourite sauces are so quick and easy to prepare, your family will love them!
Cathedral City, makers of the nation’s favourite Cheddar, have recently enjoyed a relaunch with new packaging and an advertising campaign fronted by David Jason. The campaign focuses on “the cheese rules”:
- Bubbling cheese must on no account be allowed to go unwitnessed.
- The bit of cheese that’s too awkward to grate must immediately be eaten.
- Crispy bits are irresistible, absolutely no effort should be made to resist them.
- You might feel guilty after multiple visits to the cheese board. Do not.
- If you burn yourself on melted cheese, you will make a big fuss about it.
Which of these rules can you relate to? In our house I have to admit to nibbling on the spare bit of cheese that won’t grate for fear of losing my fingers. However I usually have competition in the form of my cat Coco who knows not only the smell of cheese but no-one can say the word without her turning up in the kitchen!
It’s got so bad I find myself spelling it out rather than saying it these days. When the kids are making their packed lunches with Cathedral City Mature Cheddar Slices Coco will wind herself around their legs hoping for a morsel!
According to Cathedral City’s reseach 21% of us would forego social media in favour of cheese, such is our love for it. Plus 66% of us will have cheese in our fridge at any one time – I don’t think you’ll ever find our fridge without it!
We love finely grated Extra Mature Cathedral City sprinkled onto our spaghetti bolognaise and ratatouille (yes my family now prefer it to Parmesan) and the Mature Cheddar is constantly used in sauces for pies, scattered over omelettes before grilling and of course cheese toasties etc!
Whether you prefer your Cheddar in a block, grated, sliced or spreadable the Cathedral City range has it covered. So if you “love cheese, welcome to the club” and why not check out the Cathedral City Facebook page!
So back to my recipe, Easy Cheesy Pulled Chicken Wraps is a dish I make on days when I know I am just too busy to cook.
I simply tip a pack of chicken thighs into my slow cooker, switch it on and 6 hrs later I have juicy succulent chicken. This is then pulled and served at the table with tortilla wraps, salad, grated Cathedral City Mature Cheddar and sauces. The family can then have their wraps just how they like them!
I have to say it’s usually a combination of Sriracha and mayonnaise for me! This is a great fuss free summer meal and I do hope you try it! You could also use for picnics or packed lunches.

Love the idea of pulled chicken, I never think to do that. This looks yummy and I’m sure it would be a hit with my little dude as well…

I always have little bits of cheese that is too awkward to grate. It definitely has to be eaten right away 🙂
These wraps look wonderful and a great excuse for more cheese
Camilla

I’m definitely guilty of eating the last bit of cheese so I don’t grate right up to my fingers just like you! Great recipe, I love chicken wraps and especially loaded with cheese!
Camilla
Thanks Amanda and glad you follow the same Cheese Rule:-)

I am loving the look of these wraps. Spicy chicken & cheese is a great combination. The cheese rules I abide by are that Bubbling cheese must on no account be allowed to go unwitnessed & The bit of cheese that’s too awkward to grate must immediately be eaten. I have to say I don’t like the crispy bits of melted cheese.
Camilla
Thanks Georgina! My son will say “can I eat these bits” if there are any crispy bits left at the bottom of the grill pan after making cheese on toast:-)
