Hoppa's favorite Chicken wraps, (version 2)

One of the problems with my original recipe, was that some times the chicken wrap fell apart.
Then one day while finishing the last touches on this recipe I thought of Philly Cream Cheese!

This version, is probably not as healthy as my original, but it is sooo good!
Here is what I did on this recipe:


I seasoned and boiled a couple boneless chicken breasts, keeping the water level high enough, to cover them, then when they are done, flake them up in the broth.

Next I took a box of Minute Wild Rice traditional flavor, added it and the seasoning to the broth and chicken, with a diced fresh jalapeño. ( if you want it less spicy, make sure you don't get seeds or the white pulp in it, just the outer green )

Cook that til the rice is fluffy/done. Mix in another fresh diced jalapeño, and some raw fresh diced sweet onion. Also nice to add here, but not necessary is a few diced up, sun dried tomatoes. While you are stirring in these ingrediants, and the shredded chicken into your rice, add in about 4 tablespoons of Philly cream cheese. Let this mixture cool down, til it could no longer melt cheese, then take some shredded Italian cheeses, ( Mozzarella, Parmesan, etc.. ) and stir them in, you should have a minxture now, that is sticking together from the Philly cream cheese, and the loose grated Italian cheeses. Optional, some diced fine pepperoni is nice in this dish also, and optionally diced fresh garlic. At this point, fine dice some fresh raw spinach, and stir in this mixture as well, not only is it pretty, but its probably the only healthy thing you are gonna get in this rich mixture!
Then take several burrito wrap shells ( flour ) and warm them on the skillet
put the mixture, in the shell, wrap them up and serve!


You can creatively substitute the Philly Cream cheese with a nice sweet onion teriyaki sauce and replace the sun dried tomatoes with both sunflower seeds and pistachios to give this chicken wrap a more oriental flavour. It Still won't be any more healthier for you!
