Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Sometimes, eating tasty and reasonably healthy can go hand in hand. Spinach and chicken anchor this dish, but mozzarella cheese and Caesar dressing add the flavor (at the expense of calories). This is a great way to get the kids to eat spinach and enjoy chicken.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These spinach chicken wraps are a delicious light meal or snack. Marinating the chicken tenders in Italian dressing makes them moist and flavorful. A combination of chopped tomatoes, onions bell peppers, and fresh basil adds tons of flavor to the wraps. Drizzling Caesar dressing adds creaminess and brings the flavors together. We used a toothpick to secure the wraps before we wrapped them in foil. Some we wrapped in foil and some we kept unwrapped. Baking them unwrapped crisps up the tortilla a little bit, and we enjoyed that.
