CRANBERRY CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN ROLLUPS

SERVES 5

INGREDIENTS:

2 LBS CHICKEN BREASTS

1 LB CREAM CHEESE

½ CUP CRANBERRY SAUCE

¼ HEAD ROMAINE LETTUCE

¼ BUNCH BABY SPINACH

8 SLICES SWISS CHEESE

1 MEDIUM TOMATO SLICED

5 WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS

DIRECTIONS:

1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350. SEASON CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SALT AND PEPPER. ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS UNTIL DONE, THEN SHRED CHICKEN BREASTS WHEN OUT OF THE OVEN (THEY ARE EASIER TO SHRED WHEN STILL WARM). SET ASIDE.

2. IN A SMALL BOWL MIX CREAM CHEESE WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE UNTIL UNIFORMLY COMBINED.

3. LAY OUT TORTILLAS AND SPREAD A THICK LAYER OF CREAM CHEESE ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGES. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TORTILLA, LAYER 3 LETTUCE LEAVES DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TORTILLA.

4. NEXT LAYER MEAT AND 2 SLICES OF CHEESE ON TOP OF LETTUCE. TOP WITH SLICED TOMATOES, MAYBE 2 SLICES.

5. STARTING AT ONE END OF THE TORTILLA, ROLL UP TIGHTLY TOWARDS THE FILLING. CONTINUE ROLLING UNTIL THE FILLING IS TIGHTLY WRAPPED AND THE CREAM CHEESE HOLDS THE ROLL UP TOGETHER.

6. CONTINUE WITH THE REMAINING TORTILLAS UNTIL ALL HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED. CHILL THE WRAPPED ROLL UPS IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES OR OVER NIGHT BEFORE DISHING UP.
