Hello
everyone!
I
hope you are having a great week! So I am sure you have seen some variation of
the today's recipe all over the place. Wraps have been hitting restaurants in
masses with many different fillings as a healthier selection compared to a
sandwich. I have only tried of few of those out there and do like some of what
I have had. I found today's recipe in The Pampered Chef's Spring/Summer 2012 Season's
Best Recipe Collection and was very intrigued by all the different ingredients
and how they were going to mingle together to create a wonderful wrap! And to
top it off, it is grilled!! No more soggy wraps! One of the reason's I love this recipe is that you cook it on a grill pan inside! I am still working on my grilling skills, the grill outside is pretty intimidating if I am making anything other than grilled veggies. Plus, I always see the chef's on the cooking shows use an indoor grill pan, so it made me feel a little special and I wasn't nervous about it at all! Another great thing about this recipe is that including cooking the chicken, it doesn't take long to make at all, about 30 minutes. Gotta love those quick meals for those busy days! The wraps
came out fantastic! My husband and I loved them and I will defiantly add them
to the rotation of meals!
So I know I always list what Pampered Chef tools I have used to make a recipe but I haven't really talked much about our products, so here is where I do a little sells, being a Pampered Chef Consultant and all. If you haven't tried any of our pantry items, this would be a great recipe to to get started! The recipe requires a dijon mustard rub and The Pampered Chef has a great one! I have used it on both pork chops and chicken, and it is wonderful! Also, if you do not yet have a grill pan and press and would like to get one, The Pampered Chef has a fantastic dinner set that comes with the pan, press, panini spatula, dijon mustard rub, season's best cookbook, and a Color Coated Bread Knife! Or you can purchase what you need separately.
Grilled Chicken, Ham & Swiss Wraps
(recipe adapted from Spring/Summer 2012 Season's Best Recipe Collection by The Pampered Chef)
Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 large while dill pickle
6oz Swiss cheese
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
16 thin slices low-sodium deli ham
4 11in flour tortillas
Instructions:
1. Brush chicken with oil and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp of rub.
2. Arrange chicken in microwavable baker (Deep Covered Baker), cover with lid and microwave on high for 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
3. While the chicken cooks, slice pickles lengthwise with a vegetable peeler and grate cheese.
4. Combine mayonnaise, pressed garlic clove, and remaining 1/2 Tbsp of rub in a large bowl, mix well and set aside.
5. Remove chicken from baker to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes.
6. Dice chicken into 1/2-in pieces.
7. Add chicken to mixing bowl with mayonnaise sauce and stir to coat.
8. Warm the tortillas between two paper towels in a microwave on high for 30-45 seconds to make them easier to roll.
9. To assemble wraps, layer two slices of ham width wise over center of one tortilla, overlapping as necessary; top with 1/3 of chicken mixture, 1/3 of pickle slices, then two additional slices of ham, and 1/3 o the cheese.
10. Fold in sides of tortilla and roll up tightly like a burrito.
(I ran out of ham when I made this video of how to assemble the wrap, so I used 1 peice of ham split for the top layer of ham but it will fold alright with the 2 peices of ham on top.)
11. Repeat the assembly and folding 3 more times to make 4 wraps total.
12. Preheat grill pan and grill pan press over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, repeat as necessary.
13. Place wraps in pan; top with grill press and cook for 3-4 minutes or until grill marks appear.
14. Remove wraps from pan; cut in half on bias and serve immediately.
