day 34, recipe 34; Parmesan Chicken Salad Wraps

These made a delicious & healthy lunch! I made it using two boneless skinless chicken breasts and it made enough filling for 4 large wraps, but you could probably stretch it out if you used small/medium tortillas. I chose to use spinach wraps for added flavor!

1/2 C           low-fat mayo
1 T              lemon juice
2 t               fresh basil
2 1/2 C        chopped cooked chicken or turkey
1/4 C           grated parmesan cheese
1/4 C           thinly sliced green onions
3 T              finely chopped celery
                   salt & pepper to taste

For dressing; stir mayo, lemon juice & basil together. Set aside.
Combine chicken, parmesan cheese, onions and celery. Pour dressing overtop and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately on bread or divide into portions for later consumption.
I refrigerated the mixture in a ziploc container and made my wraps one night ahead. I found they didn't get soggy at all and were even better the second day! Definite winner for an easy brown bag lunch. Pack some fresh berries & a yogurt and you'll have a satisfying meal!
