Recipe Monday! - Spinach chicken and feta wraps!

Howdy everyone!

For lunches this week, the wifey and I are having spinach, chicken and feta wraps.

You will need:
Chicken breasts
Lemon
Garlic
Spinach
Mushrooms
Feta cheese
Wrap skins of your choice
Tzatziki sauce (look here for recipe)
salt & pepper


To start, go ahead and use a sharp knife to cut a slit into the chicken breast lengthwise.  Then cut lemon wheels and put them inside the chicken with about a teaspoon of garlic. 


After this, salt and liberally pepper the outside of the chicken and place into a 450 degrees F preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and then cook another 10. After chicken is finished cooking and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, remove from oven to rest.

While chicken is cooling, saute spinach.  To do this, you will need a LOT of spinach.  The amount of spinach below came from an entire large container of raw baby spinach.  Simply use a little bit of olive oil, a teaspoon of garlic per pan-ful and then toss over medium-high heat until wilted, but not completely destroyed.  There should be some structural integrity remaining in the leaf when you remove from the heat.


Saute mushrooms separately, but using same method.  Salt and pepper, then toss to combine after mushrooms get nice and brown and release some liquid.

To finish the recipe off, on the wrap skin of your choice (we like mission brand spinach and herb wraps) layer spinach/mushrooms, chicken, tzatziki and about a quarter cup of feta, then roll.  



These are made as a healthier-option to one of our favorite restaurants and tastes just as good!

Keep on walkin'
