Let’s eat Spiced Chicken Breast Wraps!
I feel like we all need to be reminded that chicken breasts does not have to be as boring as it seems. The notorious meat for easily being overcooked and dry can be one of the most versatile meal time saviours if you simply take a couple of easy steps and plan ahead. It was the very first meat I ever cooked so it does have a special place in my heart. I think that's why I always like to give it a chance and let it be the blank canvas to any great meal idea.
Using Meatme for your meat takes the first easy step off your hands by saving a trip to the grocery store and allowing you to order your meats individually packaged and ready to go right to your door. While you're shopping their website you can always check out where your meat is coming from, meet the Farmers, and just feel good you're supporting local. These farming families take pride in raising livestock with full transparency of their intentions.
My spiced chicken breast wrap is representative of our family in so many ways. For one thing, we love when a meal can easily be handed out and eaten while standing and on the go. It's no secret that we love our picnics and to eat outdoors so these wraps make it easy to prep in advance and pack individually.
That really is the beauty of chicken breast. Using bone-in chicken breast, I think, is much better even though the cooking time can be longer. Prep by quickly patting the chicken dry, drizzle with oil and seasoning before baking. That's it!
