Chicken Wrap With Cucumber Cream Cheese Food

CHICKEN CAESAR WRAPS WITH CRISPY CHEESE

Steps:

• Coat the lettuce in some Dressing and reserve the remaining Dressing for serving on the side.
• To assemble a wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile about 1 1/2 ounces dressed lettuce on the lower third of the tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 slices chicken (more or less, as desired) then sprinkle with the Parmesan crisps. Fold the wrap over the filling, tuck in the sides and continue to roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lettuce, chicken and Parmesan crisps.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
• Remove the wraps to a work surface. Cut in half on a bias and serve with additional Dressing for dipping.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it is too thick.
• Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the outside and in the cavity of the chicken and rub into and underneath the skin. Place on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire, then schmear the mixture all over the chicken. Roast the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, begin checking at around 50 minutes. (If the skin gets too dark, tent with aluminum foil.) Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• In a medium bowl, add the cheese and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the cheese evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, crispy and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then break up into shards.

CREOLE CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Make Guy's Flatbread (optional).
• Make the rub: Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• Prepare the wraps: Whisk the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of the rub in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Toss the chicken with 3 tablespoons rub. Oil the grill; grill the chicken until marked, about 6 minutes. Turn and grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Wipe the grill clean and brush with more oil. Lay the bread on the grill, then brush with the spiced mayonnaise and top with mozzarella. Grill until the bottom is marked, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Cube the chicken and arrange down the center of each piece of bread. Top with the tomatoes, onions and lettuce. Roll up and wrap with parchment paper or foil to seal.
• Mix the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir in 2 cups warm water until a dough forms. Lightly flour a clean board, then turn the dough out onto it and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel; let rest 20 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out the balls on a floured board into rough 7-by-8-inch rectangles, about inch thick. Working in batches, cook the dough on the hot griddle until marked on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and grill until marked on the other side. Stack the flatbreads and cover with a kitchen towel up to 20 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN-CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the mayo until well blended (I use a whisk).
• With a wooden spoon, stir in the chicken and the next 7 ingredients.
• Cover and chill the filling for 4-24 hours.
• When ready to prepare the sandwiches after the 4-24 hour chilling time cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
• Using cookie cutters, or assorted metal shaped cutters (medium-size round biscuit cutters work great too), cut the bread slices into desired shapes.
• Spread half of the bread shapes with the chicken mixture, and top with the matching shape.
• Roll the sandwich edges in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.

CHEESY CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place chicken breasts into a large pot and cover with salted water by several inches; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from water and cool. Shred chicken using two forks.
• Thoroughly mix Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir chicken into cheese mixture.
• Separate crescent roll dough and lay each piece flat on a work surface. Spread chicken-cheese mixture onto each piece of dough and roll dough into crescent roll shapes. Place rolls on prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and rolls are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Spread 2 tablespoons of spreadable cheese over each tortilla. Layer with the lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, cucumber and carrot. Roll up tightly.

CREAMY DILLED CHICKEN, CUCUMBER AND TOMATO WRAPS

Steps:

• Dressing -- Mix the yogurt, garlic, fresh dill, sugar, salt and pepper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• NOTE: If you can't find greek yogurt, use a plain yogurt. Put a colander over a small bowl and line with a paper towel, add the yogurt and cover with saran wrap. Let it set over night. The moisture will drain out and you will end up with thick yogurt.
• Chicken -- In a medium saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Season the chicken (room temp, or at least not ice cold) well with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken has a nice crust and tender and moist. Transfer to a plate and let cool and rest.
• Cucumbers -- After peeling, seeding slightly and dicing, I set on a paper towel for just a few minutes to get rid of some of the moisture, as I dice up the rest of the ingredients.
• Tomatoes -- Lightly seed. I cut in half and just squeeze lightly. Most of the seeds and juice come right out, then dice.
• Salad -- Mix the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, chicken and dressing and toss lightly. You may not need all the dressing, use as much as you want.
• Sandwich -- Add 1-2 bibb lettuce leaves to the spinach tortilla and top with the salad. I usually add a bit more black pepper, but that is up to you.Tuck in the one end like a buritto and then roll them up.
• If the tortillas seem dry, put them in the microwave and top with a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds on medium heat. They will soften right up.
• Serve -- Cut in half and secure each half with a toothpick. ENJOY! I very light healthy sandwich.
