This week for my weekly TV show night with the friends I wasn't feeling too well. I had a hearty lunch and wanted a light dinner. So I decided to make Chicken Salad Wraps along with a great salad (recipe to follow separately). They went off well and were super easy. You can make your own Chicken Salad or try the chicken salad at the deli at your grocery store and if you like that stick to that (even easier).

Chicken Salad Wraps
(yields 6 full wraps, 12 can be sufficient cut in half)
Ingredients:
6 pieces of Flat Out Bread (you can also use whole wheat tortillas however the flat out bread is a bit thicker and holds better)
4 cups diced rotisserie chicken from your grocery store (some even use canned chicken or you can boil chicken and cube)
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon or fresh dill or dried spices
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Two Sliced Avocados
Two Sliced Beefsteak Tomatoes or Three Roma Tomatoes
One Head of Romaine Lettuce
Mayonnaise to Spread
Balsamic Dressing
Minced Garlic
Chicken Salad Mixture:
Mix together the chicken, celery, scallions and herbs.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste
Add to the chicken and toss until combined
Refrigerate until ready to serve
Layout a piece of flat out bread vertically
Spoon in Chicken Salad across the top of the piece of bread
then layer with two slices of tomato, two Romaine leafs, and two slices of avocado
on remaining bread spread mayonnaise, minced garlic, and balsamic dressing
Then roll from chicken side towards you.
Use toothpicks to keep wraps together
Serve
