High Protein, High Fiber Chicken Caesar Wraps
Refer to this recipe next time you need a quick, easy & healthy lunch idea ! This is one of those recipes that you can easily make at home versus ordering out, where you know exactly what’s going into it and is going to save you a lot of $$$
Tips:
You can cook the chicken when you’re ready to prep, use leftover chicken from another dish, or even use rotisserie chicken. Another great, convenient option are the pre-cooked, individual packages of grilled chicken strips.
Amp up the nutrient profile with a dark, leafy green like spinach
Swap out traditional croutons with flaxseeds for protein, fiber, and omega-3s while satisfying that crunch (plus they fit better into a wrap)
Opt for a high fiber wrap to help keep you fuller longer, balance your blood sugar, and help you reach your daily fiber goals
For dressing, opt for a dressing with a denser nutrient profile and ingredients that ADD value to your recipe versus calorie-dense dressings with little to no nutritional value
Ingredients
(for 2 wraps, increase or decrease as needed)
10.5 oz cooked chicken (pan seared, grilled, or rotisserie)
2 high-fiber wraps (I use Mission carb-balance tortilla)
4 tbsp Caesar dressing (I used Bolthouse Farms yogurt-based at 50 calories per 2 tbsp!)
2 tbsp flax seeds
Dark leafy green of choice (I used spinach)
Instructions
Cook your chicken thoroughly unless using a pre-made option.
In a mixing bowl, add your shredded or finely cubed chicken, Caesar dressing, and flax seeds to a bowl. Mix together.
Lay out our wrap and line the middle with your greens.
Evenly lay out your chicken Caesar mixture; roll up and enjoy!
