Confession.....This doesn't make me nervous

Mango Chicken Salad Wraps

Posted by Holly Nelson on Tuesday, March 1, 2011, In : Tummy Yummy Recipe of the Week 


Mango Chicken Salad Wraps:

Chop (soft)mango and sweet red bell pepper. Gather alfalfa sprouts and spinach leaves.


Bake chicken with Jerk Chicken Seasoning. I didn't have that so I used Penzey's Northwoods seasoning.


When chicken is done chop and add to bowl with other ingredients


Mix about a cup of PLAIN yogurt, lime juice and lime zest.


Add to the chicken mixture and stir


 
I like to use the Multi-Grain with Flax wraps. Super healthy and yummy.


I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
