Anytime before I leave on a big trip we do a MASSIVE refrigerator clean out. I make do with whatever I have on hand and we eat our way through the fridge and don’t let anything go to waste. These Leftover Asian Chicken Wraps were my latest kitchen clean out invention and I’m obsessed.

Eeeeeeek! We are officially on our way home from Africa. South Africa - check. Botswana - check. Zimbabwe - check. Zambia - check. A few hours ago we hopped a flight back to the states and I’m not sure I’m ready to come home. That said - I miss cooking and can’t wait to get back into the kitchen! Before we left LA we cleared out the fridge so I’m coming home to absolutely NOTHING in the house. But I whipped up one last recipe before jetting away using some leftover chicken and all the veggies in my veggie drawer and today it’s front and center on WGC.

Raise your hand if you buy rotisserie chicken from the store?!? I grab one on a weekly basis, shred it up once I get home and then leave it in the fridge and I’m able to turn it into a bajillion different recipes, and I’m always trying to reinvent it into something new! Case in point - these Leftover Asian Chicken Wraps!! I took my leftover chicken, literally every single veggie in the fridge and tossed it all together with a quick and easy pantry sauce and stuffed it into some Flatout FoldIts. It was the most glorious dinner of all times and took almost no time to make. Just a few minutes of knife work and dinner was ready. It’s perfect for next time you’re cleaning hour and need dinner in less then 15.

  1. Just made these for lunch. The dressing is so good! I am on weight watchers and this was a real treat and so friendly to my daily points. Thanks for another good recipe.

    PS Hoping to stop by your PA at Willams Sonoma Beverly Hills this Saturday.

  2. Love all the veggies and I always have rotisserie chicken on hand. Do you think leftovers would keep well for lunch the next day?
