Back to School Week – Chicken Roll Ups

I know the school year is just starting…

But I love to start things off with a bang when it comes to lunches.

This is my boys favorite…

So I decided it needed a little bloggie love.

Check out these delicious chicken sammies!

Chicken Rolls Ups

WHAT YOU NEED:

4     whole Spinach sandwich wraps
1      cup Cooked white rice
1      cup Grilled chicken thinly sliced
½    cup Carrots thinly sliced
½    cup Red peppers thinly sliced
½    cup Alfalfa sprouts
½    Avocado sliced
Mayo or mustard (for sticking)

WHAT TO DO:

Lay out the wraps on your cutting board. Spread just a thin layer of mayo or mustard over the wrap to help everything stick.

Lay half of the rice down into the center of one of the wraps and press it out so it thinly covers the center of the wrap. Do the same for the second.

Evenly distribute your chicken between the two wraps laying it in an even row over the rice. Be sure to keep it in a single line.

Follow suit with your carrots, red pepper, sprouts and avocado. Now fold in the right section of your wrap over the ingredients and slightly pull then back toward you, then continue to roll over and make your self a tube.

Cut your tube into sushi roll looking slices.

You can cut them straight or on an angle then arrange them on a plate. Serve these with edamame or even edamame chips! You’ll have your kids yelling Arigato.

If you don’t have spinach wraps you could use whole wheat ones.

Or, if you have a kid like Brady, you could skip the wrap all together and just roll up your goodies inside a big piece of romaine lettuce!

 

Tasty Tidbit – Pita Pockets

I love a good sandwich.

As do the boys.

We call ‘em Sangies as an ode to my days back in Beantown.

We eat sangies pretty much everyday.

I think we single handedly keep Boar’s Head in business.

How good is Boar’s Head by the way?

Sometimes you have to shake up your sangie.

We do it with a pita pocket.

I love pita pocket sangies.

They’re like convenient carrying cases for kids on the go!

My only pita gripe is that sometimes I can get them to open without ripping!

Does that ever happen to you?

Well fear not my dear friends…

I have figured out the way to end your pita pocket problems!

Nuke ‘em!

Yup…that’s it!

Throw those suckers into the microwave for twenty seconds or so.

Don’t leave…

Keep an eye on them.

But when they start to puff up…

Take ‘em out.

SOOOOOO MUCH EASIER

to open them and stuff with all your favorite goodies.

Uh, yeah, you’re welcome!
