20 Minute Chicken Salad Wraps

Today was a busy day, my mom and I had 3 hours of driving to attend a painting event, and I didn't have a large amount of time to cook like I usually do. Last week when I was planning the meal for today, I remembered seeing tasty looking wraps using a salad bag, so I decided to make those.

Ingredients

12.6 oz (or close) salad kit

3 chicken breasts

Seasoning I used for each chicken breast: (you can do whatever you would like, depending on your salad kit)

Drizzle of olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

Optional: Spicy mayo

Start by seasoning your chicken and baking it in a 375 F degree oven. I've found that my chicken turns out to be a juicer if I bake it from frozen. 

While the chicken baked, I got out the rest of my ingredients. I picked out this salad kit because it looked the best the day I went to the store. The beauty of this simple dish is that it can be so different depending on what salad kit you choose. 
Prepare your salad kit, and divide it between your tortillas. The chicken wasn't done yet at this point so I went outside and watered the plants after doing this lol. 
Once my chicken was fully cooked, I cut it into slices and layered that on top of my salad
I finished my wraps with a healthy drizzle of spicy mayo. Mine is homemade, and it's just sriracha and mayonnaise. I then wrapped my cute salad burrito babies up, however I'm terrible at making wraps stay together and these were a bit too full. One way to disguise a wrap not holding together is by wrapping it with tin foil, so that's what I did here! I love hiding my problems. 
These wraps were fresh, crunchy, and surprisingly filling. They were ready super quickly, and are definitely repeatable. I want to try these with a couple other interesting salad kits I saw at the store.

Stuffed Manicotti Pasta

Image
Recently, my parents came back from grocery shopping with these really large noodles that I've never seen before, and they wanted me to try to make something with them. They looked like oversized penne noodles. A google search told me that they were manicotti, and it seems like a lot of the recipes on the internet for this type of pasta use the same ingredients as lasagna. My parents think that I would to well on the game show Chopped, where you have to make a meal out of a bunch of random ingredients, so they like to bring back random things for me to try lol.  Ingredients: 14 manicotti noodles The Filling 8 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed 15 oz ricotta 1/2 cup grated parmesan  1 egg 1 tsp minced garlic 2 tbsp Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to taste The Sauce 25 oz container of your favorite pasta sauce 1 lb. package Italian sausage 1 medium onion diced 3-ish leaves of fresh basil cut into strips Olive oil to sauté the onion Salt and pepper to taste Topping 1/3 cup grate...

Figuring Out How to Grill: Chicken and Scallop Kebabs

Image
So, I channeled my inner suburban dad today and got out the grill. I don't know if it's the summer heat, the people having fun with their fireworks 3 days before the 4th of July, or my summer allergies getting to my head, but I've been enamored with grilling lately. I've made kebabs before, but I did them in the oven rather than on the grill, and I now fully appreciate how simple the oven is. I know I make fun of my oven for taking 8 years to heat up, but it doesn't cook my fingertips to a nice medium rare. However, the flavor I got on these grilled kebabs is something that would be really hard to replicate in an oven. I have some more refining to do on the method of these kebabs, but the flavors were amazing. Ingredients 3 chicken breasts 1lb small scallops Whatever veggies you like. I used yellow zucchini, mushroom, pineapple, pearl onion chunks, garlic clove chunks, bell pepper, and jalapeno.  3 tbsp avocado oil 1/3 cup olive oil 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce 2 tsp Old ...

Lebanese Arayes

Image
Arayes are Lebanese pita pockets with a savory meat filling, usually served with a sauce of some sort. I saw them on the internet about a week ago, and I thought of the chicken and cheese pita pockets that I used to love as a kid. The crunchy fried pita coupled with the warm spices in the meat appealed to me, and I knew I had to try making these.  Ingredients: 1 onion, minced very finely in a food processor (The recipes I found said to grate the onion, but my makeup was way too nice for that today) 1 1/4 lb. ground beef, lamb, or bison 1 tbsp garam masala 1 tbsp allspice 5 pita breads, cut into 10 halves Salt and pepper to taste Olive oil for frying I served these with a garlic sauce. I started to follow I recipe I found online, but didn't care for it, so I added things until it tasted good. I don't know the exact measurements I used, so I recommend doing some of your own research for a sauce that will go well with these, or inventing your own. I think a regular fry sauce would...
