Chicken Kale Wraps Recipes

EGG AND KALE BREAKFAST WRAPS

Steps:

• Cut away and discard the stem from the center of each kale leaf. Coarsely chop the kale into 1-inch pieces. It will look like you have a lot of kale, but it will cook down considerably.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, thyme, garlic, shallots and red pepper flakes, if using. Saute until the tomatoes and shallots soften, about 4 minutes. Add the kale and sprinkle with the salt. Toss with 2 wooden spoons until the kale wilts but is still bright green, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Remove from the heat.
• Fill a wide shallow pan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer, barely a bubble really.
• Meanwhile, using tongs, toast each tortilla directly over high heat until beginning to blacken in spots, about 15 seconds per side. Put the warm tortillas on plates. Spoon 1 tablespoon of hummus on each tortilla and spread to cover, leaving a 1-inch border. Divide the kale mixture over the hummus.
• Add the lemon juice to the barely simmering water. With a wooden spoon, stir the water briskly to create a vortex in the middle of the pan. Crack an egg on the counter and break it directly into the center of the vortex. Stir the water gently again around the outside of the egg to help the white fold up around itself. Cook until the white is just set and the yolk is still very soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg from the water and dab on a towel to remove excess water before moving it to one of the wraps. Continue with the remaining eggs.
• Slit the yolks and press on the eggs a bit so the yolks begin to run (this will make them easier to eat). Fold up the bottom of each tortilla and then fold in the sides, leaving the wraps open at the top. Serve.

KALE CHICKEN CAESAR WRAPS

Steps:

• Add all caesar dressing ingredients to a blender, food processor or bowl with an immersion blender and blend until well combined.
• Meanwhile, cook chicken in a large pot of boiling water for 15 min. Let cool and shred apart with two forks. At the same time, fry turkey bacon in pan on med-high heat for 5-7 min until well cooked.
• Add 1/2 cup chicken, 1 slice turkey bacon (crumbled), a bit of red onion and 1/2 cup kale to a large bowl and toss with about 1/4 cup caesar dressing. Add to the middle of each whole wheat wrap. Fold two edges of the wrap, then roll over with one of the free sides. Squeeze ingredients inside and roll up into a wrap.
• Cut in half and eat! Wraps are up good to make the night before and eat within 24 hours as long as they stay in the fridge. Leftover dressing will last up to 7 days in the fridge. Enjoy!

CHICKEN KALE WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Combine barbecue sauce and lemon juice; set aside. Brush chicken with dressing. Grill 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), brushing with 1/4 cup barbecue sauce mixture for the last few minutes. Cut into strips.
• Spoon remaining barbecue sauce mixture down centers of tortillas; top with chicken, cheese, kale and jicama. Fold in opposite sides of tortillas, then roll up burrito-style.
• Grill, seam sides down, 8 to 9 min. or until golden brown, turning after 5 min.

CUCUMBER KALE WRAPS WITH ZESTY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice ends off cucumbers. Working one at a time, secure cucumber in a spiral slicer and turn the crank to create noodles. Place noodles in a colander over a bowl; sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes to drain liquid. On a flat surface, lay each kale leaf flat. In a medium bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork and season with pinch each salt, black pepper, chile powder and cumin. Divide chickpea mixture among kale leaves and spread in an even layer to within 1 inch of edges. Over chickpea mixture, layer cucumber noodles, bell pepper, cabbage, tomatoes, sprouts and cilantro. To a mini food processor or blender, add garlic, peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, honey, ground ginger and remaining pinch each black pepper and chile powder. Add 1 tbsp water; process until smooth. Add more water, 1 tbsp at a time, and process until sauce reaches desired consistency. Drizzle 1 tsp peanut sauce over ingredients on each kale leaf. Fold in sides of each kale leaf and roll up like a burrito; secure with a toothpick. Slice each wrap in half and serve with remaining peanut sauce.

CHICKEN & APPLE KALE WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Spread on kale leaves. Top each leaf with 1 ounce chicken, 2 slices onion and 3 slices apple. Roll each leaf into a wrap. Cut in half, if desired.
