Chicken Wraps

These are yummy and easy to make. It's nice light meal that can be used for lunch or dinner as well as makes for a good summer dish, since you don't have to turn on the oven =D I made these for dinner for Tim and I tonight and thought I should share the recipe!

CHICKEN WRAPS
Serves 3-4
12 oz Shredded Chicken, or 2 chicken breast
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tblsp pesto
1 tsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 shallot
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp thyme
2 Tblsp white wine
salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded Romaine
4-5 tortillas
Place your chicken breast in a sauce pan and fill with water to cover the chicken. Bring the chicken to a simmer and simmer until the chicken breast is cooked all the way through. Once chicken is cooked pull out of water and pat dry. Using a fork shred the chicken by running the fork along the grain of the chicken, put the shredded chicken into a bowl and set aside.

Blend all the other ingredients (except lettuce and tortillas) in a blender or food processor until nice and smooth. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken and mix well.

Warm you tortillas and place some of the shredded chicken in the tortilla, top with shredded romaine lettuce and roll up. Voila!

Note; If I am making this for just Tim and I usually half the recipe and use one chicken breast. It should make enough to fill 3 tortillas

Variations
Sundried Tomato pesto. Substitute sundried tomatoes in place of pesto or add along with the pesto, both are good.
If you don't have either pesto or sundried tomatoes add 2 tsp balsamic vinegar. I usually add the balsamic vinegar to the recipe anyways since I like the way it taste.
Have fun with the recipe! I never follow it exactly so play around with ingredients you like!
