This is from a great cookbook called "Breast Wishes" which is put together by some ladies from a small town to raise money for breast cancer research! They even test all their recipes before they put them in! Haven't hit a bad one yet! I've even subbed in peanuts for the cashews when I was out - still yummy!

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
3-4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4-1/2 cup cashews
3 tablespoons sliced green onions
1/2 cup mandarin oranges, divided
1/4 cup finely chopped red cabbage
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll each dinner roll into an 8 inch circle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for about 20 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and mustard. Fold in the cashews, green onions, half of the oranges and the cabbage and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove wrap from flattened rolls and brush with olive oil. Cook on a grill heated to medium heat for about 1 minute on each side. Remove from grill and cool slightly. Divide chicken mixture evenly between the wraps and garnish with remaining oranges.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful sauce will make all the difference.

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your wraps. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Make sure your sauce is flavorful and well-balanced. A good sauce will bring all the flavors of the wrap together.
  • Serve the wraps immediately after they are made. This will prevent the wraps from getting soggy.
