Coleslaw Chicken Wraps

summer recipes

This Coleslaw Chicken Wraps recipe originally came from Healthy Cooking, which was a division of Taste of Home. I love their recipes as they all taste wonderful and usually come out looking exactly like the picture. This is a perfect summer recipe, fast and fresh. The dressing serves as both a marinade and as a topping for these wraps. The chicken is grilled but could be done ahead of time; the wrap is as good hot or cold. Which means if you have any leftovers they would make a perfect lunch the next day!

Coleslaw Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

1 bottle of poppy seed salad dressing or make your own
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 package (14oz) coleslaw mix
1 can (20 oz) unsweetened pineapple tidbits, drained (I used crushed pineapple)
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
8 whole wheat tortillas (8 inch)
½ cup sliced almonds, toasted (op)

Directions:

Marinate the chicken in 1 cup of the dressing for one hour.

Marinate chicken in dressing.

Drain and discard the marinade. Lightly coat your grill with oil and grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side or until done. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Let chicken sit before slicing

Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the pineapple, coleslaw mix, red pepper and the remaining dressing; toss to coat.

Coleslaw Mix

Divide among the tortillas; top with chicken and sprinkle with almonds.

Layer chicken and coleslaw mix on the tortilla.

Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks if you like.

Perfect for that next summer get together.
