At a pack meeting the Cub Scouts learned about nutrition. A nutritionist came in and did some great activities with the Cub Scouts, including bringing in a healthy chicken wrap recipe and letting each Cub Scout make his own chicken wrap.
This is the chicken wrap recipe she made with the Cub Scouts:
Chicken Wrap Recipe
This is a healthy version of a chicken wrap. The brown rice mixture makes it filling and hearty.
Ingredients
- 2 12 ounce cans white chicken breast drained, or use grilled chicken
- 2/3 cup low fat mayonnaise
- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 4 10 inch whole grain tortilla wraps
- 2 cups shredded lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe avocado pitted and cut into 16 slices
- 1/2 cup carrot shreds
- cherry tomatoes halved (optional)
- red onion thinly sliced (optional)
- reduced sodium soy sauce for dipping optional
Instructions
- Mix the chicken, mayonnaise, and green onion in a bowl.
- Combine the rice and vinegar in another bowl.
- Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture on a wrap.
- Top with 1/2 cup of the rice mixture.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup lettuce, 4 avocado slices, and 2 tablespoons of carrot shreds on top of the rice.
- Add any optional ingredients.
- Roll up the chicken wrap and cut in half or in quarters.
- Repeat with remaining filling and wraps.
- Serve with soy sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
Tuna can be substituted for the chicken. 1/4 to 1/2 wrap is a good serving size for a child.
