When our chefs told us they
wanted to make Halal Snack Packs, little did we know it would be a full
meal occasion! The HSP, as it is known by afficiandos, apparently
started in Australia and took off through digital conversations as
people began sharing their HSP photos online. Find out more in our story about their origins, or simply make your own version. Just be sure to snap a photo and let us know how it turns out @FoodChannel.
Foodie Byte: We used marinated grilled chicken for our snack pack; this marinade recipe also works for grilled lamb or steak.
Preparation
Marinated Grilled Chicken:
- Combine marinade ingredients; transfer to zip-lock bag,
add chicken filets, close bag and tumble to coat with marinade.
Refrigerate overnight.

grill chicken over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until
fully cooked. Cool slightly.
- Slice grilled chicken diagonally and rough-chop into bite size pieces; reserve.

blend. Transfer to squeeze bottle if desired. Cover and chill to hold
(can be made ahead).
