Ingredient Notes

1 cup of Asian slaw mix (cabbage, carrots, scallions) adds a crunchy bite and is easily found pre-packaged. Substitute with shredded veggies for variation. 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce bring savory depth; use tamari for gluten-free. 1 pound cooked chicken, diced or shredded, can be from rotisserie for time-saving. 1/2 cup hoisin sauce for a sweet finish – look for it gluten-free or organic if preferred.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken with soy sauce, tossing until well-coated.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the Asian slaw with hoisin sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Lay out a wrap (rice paper or whole wheat), layer in the chicken, and top with the slaw mix.
  4. Step 4: Roll tightly, folding in the sides for neatness.
  5. Cut in half for presentation, then serve immediately or pack for lunch!.

Things I’ve Learned

Experiment with seasoning the chicken by adding ginger or garlic. These wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to two days, but it’s best to avoid pre-rolling, as the wraps may become soggy. If you’re making them ahead, keep the filling separate until you’re ready to eat. Easy reheating in the microwave keeps these flavors intact.
