Broccoli Slaw & Chicken Wraps
June 1st, 2008
This dinner was inspired by Chicken Coleslaw Wraps on the Taste of Home site. It was incredibly quick to prepare. I used a 12 oz. package of Eat Smart Broccoli Slaw, which I mixed with a little white wine vinegar, mayo, salt & pepper (you can add a little sugar, too, if you want). I sliced a few skinless, boneless chicken breasts into long strips, and tossed them with pepper, garlic powder, and the juice of a lime I had kicking around from guacamole J. made last week. Then I threw the chicken in a hot non-stick pan that had about a tablespoon of olive oil in it.
While the chicken was cooking over medium-high heat, I thinly sliced two small red peppers. The chicken took about 10 minutes or so (until it is golden brown, turning once) — I added it still hot to a multi-grain tortilla. Add the slaw and pepper, wrap, and eat.
I made the boys a deconstructed wrap, which I thought was very pretty, too. They were not impressed. A. nibbled at the red pepper (he asked me to make his into a Jenga shape first!); G. tried a piece of tortilla. Isn’t it a pretty plate?

I was in your house while you were cooking the chicken and BOY DID IT SMELL GOOD (darn, should’ve stolen a bite…!)!! Yes, the boys were presented with a very pretty place - eventually they will begin to appreciate all your hard work!

I feel like I throw so much food away…if I put this in front of my kids, the reaction would have been about the same. Most days I feel like, who cares, let them have yogurt and toast!
