Notes
Commentary:
I've always loved chicken wraps, but never made them before. I've just ordered them at restaurants. They're really pretty easy and can be served as a meal or appetizer. Plus they're good for you. This recipe uses chicken breast meat that's already cooked, so it's a good way to use leftover chicken. I like the rotisserie chicken from Costco and sometime get the packages of chopped rotisserie chicken meat. You can also used canned chicken for this. With all the seasoning, you really can't tell.

Hope you like it!
