Chicken Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce

With Valentine's Day over, it's time to lighten up a bit.

This dish I deem classified as a "super-fast" meal.  You can put this together in 15 min, and have a satisfying, hearty lunch or a nice and light dinner.  It's perfect for those hectic days where you just ran in from work, late.  Or is you are too tired to cook from doing Zumba!


The ingredients used are all pre-made, so cooking is really non-existent.  It's a great way to use leftover chicken breasts, or you can opt to purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred that.  Another option, which involves cooking, is to poach a chicken breast and shred the meat for the filling.  For this I used some leftover chicken that I had baked previous night and shredded.


This wrap is a spin on some Greek flavors, using tzatziki sauce, with a little middle eastern flatbread thrown in for good measure.


I hope you enjoy this wrap.  It's mighty tasty!

 

How easy was that?

Raspberry Balsamic Chicken

Romance is in the air!

I'm a hopeless romantic.  I admit it, I am.  I want the romance, I treasure the memories.  I'm sappy!  I've even gone so far as to plan romantic moments...or at least steer them that way and hope they turn out!  I know, I'm really hopeless.  So it's no wonder that I adore Valentine's day.  I believe that you should express your love everyday.  But Valentines, is just a designated day to celebrate all the love you have for friends, family, and that special someone.

I think I've read too many romance novels.

One thing that is romantic to me is serving a dish that signifies love.   My take on Raspberry Balsamic Chicken is just that, romantic.  Certain items scream romance, raspberries being one of them.  The sweet tart flavor is perfect paired with balsamic vinegar makes a wonderful sauce.  The best part other than the taste...it's quick and easy to make.  Baking the chicken is a great way to eat healthy and it lends to a moist and tender chicken.

This would make a wonderful dinner for that special night.  What do you like about romance??

Some step by step pics for you.

A nice, romantic dinner!
