Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Quick and Easy: An Asian Chicken Wrap is the perfect quick and easy dinner idea. It is one of my favorite ways to use up leftovers in the refrigerator too. If you’ve got some leftover shredded chicken or other meat the wraps require no cooking or turning on the oven which is always a plus in the hot summer months.
Eat on the Go: They are also a great idea for a dinner on the go, they take only minutes to assemble. All you have to do is wrap it up and go. Wraps work great in lunches too. All the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time and all you have to do is assemble it when you are ready to eat.
Secret is in the Sauce: The secret to this recipe is in the sauce, it is a yummy Asian flavored sauce.

Tips from leigh Anne

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use something other than chicken?
You can use any leftover protein. you have. Another great option is to cook up some ground chicken or ground turkey and use it. You can also make it vegetarian by leaving out the meat and including additional veggies.
What else can I add into this asian chicken wrap?
To give it some additional crunch, add in some water chestnuts, peanuts, or chow mein noodles.
Can I make Asian chicken wraps ahead of time?
I recommend preparing all the ingredients ahead of time and then assembling before you are ready to serve or up to a few hours ahead of time. They will last for several hours (will totally work in a lunch box), just wrap in foil or plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. I don’t recommend preparing them the day before as the sauce may make the tortilla soggy if prepared that far ahead of time.
