Sometimes you just need a quick and easy weeknight meal and these Ginger Scallion Chicken Wraps are exactly that!
This past weekend was intense!! The best kind of intense, but crazy none the less. Friday I prepped for a HUGE party I was catering. Saturday I cooked ALL.DAY.LONG and then put together an epic spread for 60 complete with the most delicious cheese platter of all times. And then Sunday we headed over to some friends for an Oscar's viewing party complete with the most genius fondue I've ever had in my life. Needless to say, I'm wiped. I need a weekend from my weekend. And when dinner rolls around tonight, I'll be shocked if I can stand up for more than 20 minutes. Enter these Ginger Scallion Chicken Wraps!!
It's a combo of some of my favorite vegetables (including tons of Shitake mushrooms - YES - they are the best!) and some shredded chicken that gets wrapped up in a spinach tortilla and then dipped in some extra sauce. It's filling, healthy, perfect and I'm obsessed. They also double as a great lunch when you need to take something into the office. Just skip the dipping sauce while you wrap and take it separately so your wrap doesn't get soggy! Cause ain't nobody got time for that!

To Wrap

Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the napa cabbage, purple cabbage, yellow and red bell pepper and cucumber.
- In a medium skillet, saute the mushrooms in the oil until golden brown. Once golden, remove and add to the cabbage mixture along with the shredded chicken breasts.

- Arrange the 4 large spinach tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Spoon equal amounts of the cabbage chicken mixture in the middle of each wrap and wrap (like chipotle) to seal. Cut in half and serve immediately.
So good. So simple. We make this to take camping, bring to new parents, serve at summer bbqs, and it’s always a hit. We make even simpler by using rotisserie chicken and precut cabbage when we’re feeling lazy.
So delicious and so simple. I make this all summer long!
Made these Monday - made SO much and keeps well. I ran out of the dressing on day two so now I'm just throwing on a little bit of this and a little bit of that to "refresh" it. AWESOME,healthy recipe!
