FAQ

• Can I make this ahead of time / meal prep? Yes, you can prepare the chicken and chop the vegetables beforehand. Assemble the wraps just before serving for the best texture.

Ingredients

US Metric

• 2 cups, cooked and shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 large whole wheat or low-carb wraps
• 1 cup, sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
• 1 cup, julienned carrots
• 1 cup, thinly sliced cucumber
• 1 cup, shredded red cabbage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup your choice of wrap sauce (e.g., honey mustard, sriracha mayo)

Directions

1.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

2.

While the chicken is warming up, prepare your vegetables. Slice the bell peppers, julienne the carrots, and thinly slice the cucumber and red cabbage.

3.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat and set aside. Take a wrap and lay it flat on a plate.

4.

On one side of the wrap, layer a handful of the cooked chicken, followed by a generous amount of fresh vegetables.

5.

Drizzle your choice of wrap sauce over the top. Be generous; it adds flavor and moisture.

Fold the sides of the wrap in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Cut in half diagonally to serve.
