CALIFORNIA CLUB CHICKEN WRAPS

I work in a corporate office, and our cafe has a 'wrap station' every Friday and these are a huge hit with everyone. I got hooked so I watched closely and finally made my own version at home; they are so delicious! If desired, place wrap in a panini maker for 1 to 2 minutes, or until wrap has grill marks and cheese is slightly melted.

CALIFORNIA CHICKEN WRAPS

I made this healthy recipe from the Taste of Home Feb/March 2011 issue today for lunch and really enjoyed it. I used Sabra roasted pine nut hummus. I usually also dice up kalamata olives and include them in the wrap. This recipe also works fine using Gardein brand faux chickn tenders.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup prepared hummus
4 whole wheat tortillas (8 in.)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
1/4 cup chopped roasted sweet red pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
1/4 cup kalamata olive, diced (optional)

Steps:

  • Spread hummus on tortillas; top with chicken, peppers, cheese, basil, and kalamata (if using). Roll up.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your wraps. Use fresh, organic produce whenever possible, and choose high-quality chicken and cheese.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about wraps is that you can customize them to your liking. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
  • Wrap the wraps tightly: This will help to keep the wraps together and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the wraps immediately: Wraps are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

California chicken wraps are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a variety of toppings to choose from, everyone can find a wrap that they will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give California chicken wraps a try.
