Serving Tips
Serve with a side of fresh salad or crispy sweet potato fries for a complete meal. Adding a dollop of yogurt or your favorite sauce can boost the taste and add moisture. This wrap also pairs well with a cold drink like iced tea or lemonade.
Freezing Tips
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep the wrap from getting soggy, store the sauce separately and add it just before eating. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid drying out the chicken.
