Chicken and veggie wrap 1/15

Chicken and veggie wrap

Wraps can be a lighter alternative to most lunch sandwiches, as long as you fill them with lots of veggies and protein.

For this recipe, peel and grate 1 carrot and cut 1/2 peeled cucumber into matchstick-sized pieces. Wash and roughly chop 6 lettuce leaves. Cut 1 chicken breast into thin strips and cook in a skillet. Lay out the wrap, spread it with 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and add a bit of chicken, lettuce, cucumber and carrot. Fold the sides in, and roll up tightly. Secure with a chive sprig and serve immediately.
