This is simple recipe and yet super delicious!! I’m not a good cook at all but this recipe is so easy to follow . My family gave me 2 thumbs up for the first time. The only changes I made is using a pre cooked chicken breast. I added a few chopped cilantro and sprinkled some sesame seeds. Thanks for sharing this.
I was raised "cooking" and eating frozen, unhealthy meals so even conceiving of simple, healthy meals is new. Big thanks to those who post recipes like this and help a girl out!I appreciate the base recipe, but I also enjoy its versatility. For tonight's version I replaced the carrots and water chestnuts with 1 - 1 1/2 C coleslaw mix (a fancy kind with Brussels sprouts and kale bits). I made my own Asian dressing yesterday (added the crushed red pepper in this part), this helped control the sodium and sugar. We enjoyed the wraps this way but also with fresh slices of Mandarin oranges added to the individual wraps. Next time I will add crushed cashews or, as the note suggests, almonds.My vegetable hating brother loves this, so it's in the rotation for good. Thanks again!
This recipe is great for using up that leftover chicken and seldom used store bought Asian dressing. I changed nothing as I believe one cannot review a recipe if one doesn't follow the recipe and I am glad I didn't. It was perfect and I will make again and also try adding the green onions as we have an enormous crop of them every year.
My Variations, which came out great:-- 1 can (12.5 oz) chicken (instead of rotisserie chicken)-- also added shredded radish (1 large) & chopped water chestnuts (3/4 of 8oz can) to chicken mixture.-- Plus sprinkled in: dry mustard, garlic powder (no salt as that will come from the soy sauce), and paprika. [note: add red pepper here if you don't have a spicy Asian-style salad dressing*], toasted black/white sesame seeds, and celery seeds. Then did final mix.-- For toppings: sprinkle more of the sesame seeds, and some chopped /roasted peanuts or hazel nuts.*I didn't have a bottle of Asian-style dressing sitting around, so I made my own: low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, & chili oil.Will make again. Thanks!
This was so good! It’s was easy, fast, tasty, and healthy! My kids even ate it.
We loved this recipe. I served it as a side to soup. It is quick and easy to make. I would say it is mistake proof. The only change I made was adding in some green onion, we like a lot of flavor in this family.
Love it !!
I loved this! Light, but very filling! The only problem I had was my own doing, I forgot the red pepper flakes! I bet that makes them even better. This will be a go to low carb meal in my house!
I am in a group called Low Carb Life and I passed on the recipe to the group. The recipe turned out great and it was delicious!!!
