Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 1 wrap

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• ¾ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup wing sauce
• 1 cup celery, diced
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 wedges Laughing Cow Creamy Queso Fresco Chipotle
• 4 large high-fiber, low-carb tortillas
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup tomato, diced
• ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a large stock pot, and fill the pot with enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chicken by about 1-2 inches. Add 2 dried bay leaves, fresh parsley stems, and whole peppercorns to flavor the cooking liquid if desired, then bring to a boil over high heat.
2. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reads 165℉.
3. Using tongs, remove the chicken and reserve on a plate. When it is cool enough to touch, shred it.
4. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, yogurt, wing sauce, celery, and salt and pepper.
5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, or in between 2 damp paper towels in the microwave.
6. Spread a cheese wedge on each tortilla, and scoop the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese (it will be about a scant 1 cup).
7. Evenly top each tortilla with the lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions. Roll the tortillas up like a burrito, or a loose wrap, and serve with (optional) Light Bleu Cheese Dressing to dip.

3. Ultimate Veggie Sandwich: 

This sandwich is an amped-up classic that looks as if it came from a fancy diner. It’s colorful and flavorful to keep you filled all day, even without the deli cuts

My sandwich in California, came on a Dutch Crunch roll. It was so good! It was soft and crunchy, the best of both worlds. I wasn’t sure I would be able to find Dutch Crunch bread at home, but a local bakery makes a Dutch Crunch baguette. Yay!

If you can’t find Dutch Crunch bread, you can use your favorite bread. I just like the soft, chewy, crunchy bread! Plus, the top of the bread is pretty and I was trying to stay true to my original sandwich.

We took our Ultimate Veggie Sandwiches on a picnic and they were perfect! Lots of tasty veggies surrounded by carbs, the best way to go!

Make the Ultimate Veggie Sandwich and get yo veggies on!
