This is an incredibly easy recipe for Chinese Chicken Wraps. Think: Chinese Chicken Salad deconstructed into a wrap. So good.
If I’m out and there’s Chinese Chicken Salad on the menu, 9 times out of 10, I will order it. There’s something about the mix of greens, chicken and crispy wontons that gets me salivating every single time. What better way to eat your salad than in a wrap? No fork, easy to pack. It’s a two-fer.
How to make Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps
The general consensus was that I should make these wraps every day for their school lunch. The husband also agreed that there should be one extra one made for him as well. So I guess you can say that this recipe is a keeper. I hope you give it a try and love it as much as we did. Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
