Yesterday after carving my pumpkin I was too tired to cook and I am staying away from fast food and pizza delivery so I decided to make some chicken salad wraps. This is an easy recipe to make, doesn’t require many ingredients and is low in calories. I usually make enough to yield four wraps at a time but you can adjust the recipe to make more.

Ingredients:

• 4 - Whole wheat wraps or pita bread
• 2 - 4oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (each breast will yield two wraps)
• 1/4 cup Fat-free Yogurt or 1 ½ Tbsp Low-fat Mayonnaise
• 1/8 cup Dill Pickle Relish
• 1/2 Medium-sized Vidalia Onion diced
• 1 tsp Mustard
• Cooking Spray

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Spray baking dish with cooking spray and bake chicken breasts for approximately 45 minutes until done. (Internal temperature above 165°F - No pink on the inside)
• Cut chicken into 1/4 to 1/2 inch chunks
• Combine Chicken, Mayo or Yogurt, Relish, and Onion in a small bowl and toss thoroughly.
• Spread Chicken salad on wraps, fold over the sides and roll the wrap closed or spread inside pita bread.

Variations:

• Add diced celery
• Add diced carrots
• Add seedless grapes
• Add a splash of lemon
• Use a flavored Fat-free Yogurt
• Serve with Homemade Baked Potato Chips, you can find the recipe in my article, Blurt: It’s Snackin’ Time. Just cut the bake time down to 25 minutes or until the potato wedges begin to turn a golden brown.

If you would like to try your hand at making your own pita bread, visit Michelle over at Big Black Dog. She also offers a recipe there for Waldorf Chicken Wraps which sounds delicious. They will require a little more work but when I have the time I know I am going to try them.
