The best parts of cooking a big meal for your family are the leftovers! Turn a roasted chicken into a delicious Chicken Pesto Wrap lunch; you can even make your own homemade pesto sauce. Adding cheese lends this simple recipe extraordinary flavor. These Chicken Pesto Wraps would also make great after-school snacks!
What you'll need
- ½ - ¾ cup pesto sauce
- ¾ pound roasted chicken, shredded
- 1 small ball fresh mozzarella
- 4 wraps (I love FlatOut flatbread wraps)
- 1 roasted red pepper
Helpful Tip:
Using store-bought pesto is fine for this dish, but if you want the best flavor, make your own! It's easy, fast and fun… and the flavor can't be beat.
How to make it
1. Combine ½ cup of the pesto and chicken in a bowl and stir well to mix. Add more pesto, if desired, for a more intense flavor.
2. Slice the mozzarella into ¼ inch slices.
3. Lay out the wraps and place slices of mozzarella in one line down the center.
4. Chop the roasted red pepper to a ¼ inch dice. Divide evenly between the wraps, sprinkling on top of the mozzarella.
5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the wraps, spooning onto the cheese and red peppers.
6. Roll the wraps: start at one end and wrap around the filling. Continue to tightly roll until all the wrap has been used.
7. Cut in half and arrange on plates. Serve .
