Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2-3 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts

For the Sesame Dressing

  • ⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

For the Wraps

  • 2 cups bagged cole slaw mix
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
  • ½ cup carrots shredded
  • 2 11-oz. cans mandarin oranges, drained
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles
  • 1 cup sliced almonds lightly toasted
  • 4 Flatout flatbreads

Instructions

For the Chicken

  • Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a shallow glass baking dish; pour marinade on top. Let chicken marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and place into hot skillet; discard any remaining marinade.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until chicken is fully cooked. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes and then slice into strips.

For the Sesame Dressing

  • Using a medium bowl (or a jar with a tight-fitting lid), add all ingredients; whisk together until well combined.
  • Store any leftover dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Before using, shake well to recombine.

For the Wraps

  • Using a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients (including cooked chicken) except for the wraps; mix until well combined. Add desired amount of Sesame Dressing; toss until well coated. (Note: We used 2-3 teaspoons of dressing per cup of filling.)
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the wraps. Roll up flatbreads; cut in half before serving.
