Method

Step 1: Prep the slaw & dressing

Thinly slice the brussel sprouts and toss to separate them into individual strands. Add them to a bowl along with the grated carrot and thinly sliced onion.

Mix all dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust as needed. Combine with the slaw ingredients and toss until well coated. Set aside.

Step 2: Prep the chicken & wraps

If you don’t have cooked chicken breast, prep and sear or grill some now. This recipe works with cold, leftover chicken breast. Slice the breast into thin strips.

Gather your wraps. If they aren’t fresh and pliable, warm them up lightly so they don’t tear when assembling.

Step 3: Assemble

Add a portion of sliced chicken and the slaw to each wrap. Tightly roll up.

If prepping these for later, cover in foil or parchment paper and store in the fridge. These can be enjoyed cold.

“A great recipe to use up extra cooked chicken and raw vegetables you might need to use up. I had brussels, carrots, and onions around, so I turned them into a crunchy slaw, which came together into a full meal with protein and a wrap. The sauce is inspired by Caesar flavors, but you could use any dressing you had around.”

FAQ

How can I customize the slaw?

You can make this with any leafy green and aromatic vegetable. Standard lettuce, cabbage, or kale would be great options. Instead of the carrot and onion, you could try thinly sliced apples and celery.

How can I customize the dressing?

This was designed as a super quick, higher protein version of Caesar, hence the Greek yogurt. For a more classic version that the dressing with egg yolks and oil, check out this recipe. The Calabrian chilies were added for but could be omitted or swapped for any other spicy ingredient. Feel free to use Worcestershire sauce and/or parmesan instead of the anchovies for a similar / boost.

I can’t find spinach wraps, what else can I use?

This chicken & slaw combo could work on any wrap or flatbread — tortillas, pita, lavash bread, etc. It would even go great on sandwich bread instead or just as a salad on its own.
