My kids really only like peanut butter sandwiches. Other than that, sandwiches are not their favorite. I, on the other hand, could eat PB and J every day of the week-in fact, my dad did!
It takes a bit of brain power to think about alternative lunches for me and the kids that does not suck up my entire lunch hour. I refuse to sit at a stove twice a day-once for lunch and once for dinner. Katelyn has said to me that she wants a meal at lunch time. A MEAL!? So, now she cooks more often!
This wrap is simple yet full of flavor and really, it is just assembly. I have included in the recipe below a wee marinade for you to cook your chicken in, but really, I have used any left over chicken at all. If you really want to get ahead of the game and plan ahead-and I do!- then whenever you are planning on having chicken breasts for dinner, whip up a few extra and plan to eat them in this wrap the next day. It may not be as quick as spreading PB and J on toast, but it’s pretty close!
Also, my son, Nathan, loves pickles in this wrap (and I like avocados). I add a few bread and butter pickles in there to add a bit of crunch and he loves it! Oh, and he adds BBQ sauce too, but I really wouldn’t recommend that. To me… that is just plain nasty!
Wrap away and stay sassy friends.
