Friday’s Recipe….that’s a wrap!

 

Happy Friday 🙂 For today’s recipe, I thought I’d give you something that is fairly simple and quick to make for the family. Wraps are not only good for that quick “after work dinner fix” but they’re also a great to-go food if you are having a picnic or need to bring lunches for those weekend sports events with the kiddos. Here are a couple of recipes that I got from one of my Pampered Chef books… hope you like them!

Grilled Chicken, Ham & Swiss Wrap
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6 oz/150-175 g each)
1 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
2 1/2 tbsp (37 mL) Dijon Mustard Rub (available from Pampered chef)
**OR** jarred dijon mustard
2 medium whole dill pickles
4 oz (125 g) Swiss cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) light mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
12 thin slices (6 oz/174 g) low-sodium deli ham
3 (11-in./28-cm) flour tortillas
1. Brush chicken with oil then brush on 2 tbsp of the Dijon mustard
Arrange chicken on microwave safe plate & cover with parchment paper.
Microwave on HIGH 5-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165˚F (74˚C)
Dice chicken into 1/2-in. (1-cm) pieces

garlic, and remaining 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard; mix well. Add chicken and stir to coat.

overlapping as necessary; top with one-third of the checken mixture, one-third of the
