Quick and Healthy Chicken Veggie Wraps

         Looking for a healthy meal that tastes good and can be made in a matter of minutes? Well I have found it! It is my Chicken Veggie Wraps. They are super easy to throw together, light on calories, and a good source of protein, veggies, and whole grain carbs. Plus they won't break the bank.

Ingredients:
-whole grain tortillas
-fresh spinach
-fresh diced tomatoes
-sliced cucumbers
-Feta cheese- I like feta because a little goes a long way. Which means lots of flavor with fewer calories.
-1/2 of a Tyson chicken breast - I prefer Tyson fully cooked chicken breast because they are minimally processed and have no artificial ingredients. As a bonus they taste wonderful and since they are fully cooked it takes just 2 minutes in the microwave to warm them up.

        This recipe is pretty self-explanatory. All you have to do is microwave your chicken and cut up your veggies. Then assemble your wrap and voila! A healthy dinner for about 250 calories in a matter of minutes. To make the process even faster I cut up my vegetables in the beginning of the week so I can just grab them and go.

        Don't feel restricted by my choice of ingredients. Feel free to customize your wrap with your own favorite vegetables. You can also change up the cheese or add a little salad dressing. If you like things a bit spicy, try some Tobasco sauce. For those who want a vegetarian option, leave out the chicken. :)

Health Benefits:
Whole grain tortilla- Whole grains have been linked to decreased heart disease and decreased diabetes. Plus those who eat whole grains tend to weigh less.
Spinach- Spinach decreases the risk for heart disease, decreases the risk of cancer, and helps protect the brain from typical signs of aging.
Tomatoes- Tomatoes protect the skin from UV radiation, decrease the risk of cancer, and improve bone mass.
Cucumbers- The vitamin A in cucumbers is important for good vision, bone growth, white blood cell formation, and prevents cancer.

So, the next time you are looking for a quick meal, avoid the McDonald's drive-thru and make this healthy option for your family instead. :)
