Asian Chicken Wrap

This one is my absolute favorite. Its so filling and satisfying, yet not too bad on the waist. Its a great take to work item too!

Servings: 2

1/4 cup chopped Lettuce
1/4 cup chopped Red Cabbage
1/4 cup chopped Red/Yellow Peppers
1/4 cup chopped Carrots
1 Chicken breast cooked
1/2 cup Yogurt Sauce (recipe follows)
2 Spinach/Whole wheat Tortillas

The veggies can be switched around with those of your choice, you could add onions, garlic, sprouts, tomato etc.

First cook the chicken, or you could buy rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Butterfly the chicken breast or cut into thin pieces, add salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet or oven with a little bit of cooking spray for around 5 minutes on each side. Rest and cut into thin pieces.

Thinly slice all the veggies. And make the sauce.

Sauce:

3 Tbsp Greek Yogurt
2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1/2 Tsp Sesame Oil
1/2 Tsp Chilli Sauce
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard

Whisk together all the ingredients. Sauce is ready :)

To make the wrap warm the tortillas a little bit and add half the veggies and chicken and then the sauce in each tortilla. Wrap in parchment paper if you plan to take it to work.

Enjoy!

Marinara Sauce

One of the easiest sauces to make and is also very versatile. This is the healthier version though, but still as tasty. You can add 2 Tbsps butter and parmesan cheese if you are not counting calories...


1/2 cup carrots chopped
1/2 cup celery chopped
1 medium onion chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 bay leaf
Few twigs fresh thyme or 1/2 Tsp dried thyme
1 cup crushed tomatoes, better to use san marzano
Salt and Pepper to taste

Saute garlic, onions, carrots and celery in a little bit of olive oil for 10 minutes with little salt. Add bay leaf and thyme once the vegetables start to sweat and become translucent. Then add tomatoes, 1/4 cup of water and the rest of the salt and pepper and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and blend with immersion blender or in food processor. Marinara sauce is ready. It stores in the refrigerator for WEEKS!!! You can use it with pasta, meats, chicken, etc.
