A busy schedule doesn’t mean you can’t make meal planning nutritious and delicious! Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too!

A busy schedule doesn't mean you can't make meal planning nutritious and delicious! Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too! | HostessAtHeart.comI know how creative you have to be to keep up with everyone’s schedule and figuring out how to keep them alive and happy at the same time.  Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels is one recipe that can help make meal planning a little easier.

Last weekend we stopped by some friends of ours and Momma buzzed in with child number two after soccer practice to tell papa to feed child number one before his activity. It reminded me of when our children were running in different directions all the time.

Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too! | HostessAtHeart.comOne of the things that were always important to me is that we ate delicious and nutritious food. With a little meal planning and some creativity, it doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming.

A busy schedule doesn't mean you can't make meal planning nutritious and delicious! Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too! | HostessAtHeart.comMy children loved wraps. Putting food in a tortilla just made it kid-friendly. They loved eating food that they didn’t have to cut and I love that I can make the filling ahead and just roll them up as I need them. They’re perfect to pack for a school lunch, in between events, or as an afternoon snack.

Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too! | HostessAtHeart.comI got the idea for the chicken filling when I recently went to a french bistro for lunch. I had chicken salad and knew it wasn’t made with mayonnaise. It was light and delicious. John doesn’t eat mayonnaise so I knew if I made it like the bistro he would like it.

Healthy Whole Grain Chicken Wraps and Pinwheels are fun and easy too! | HostessAtHeart.comI used Hiland Dairy Light Sour Cream and blended it with an Italian spice blend, a little bit of Parmesan cheese, some grilled chicken and veggies. Some fruit and veggies on the side with a glass of Hiland milk make a well-balanced meal that’s packed with nutrition and protein.

Cutting the wraps into slices make fun pinwheels that are perfect for little fingers or an easy after school snack. Big fingers like them as well. John has eaten these wraps for lunch for the last couple of days. They satisfied his hunger without having him falling asleep at work from a food coma and lasted even through his afternoon workout!

  1. I recently finished eating some pinwheels I bought at Kroger and was thinking I need to make my own. They make a quick and light snack/lunch. Especially when I am on the go most of the time... Thanks for sharing Julie!

    • Thank you Judi. It's just hard stopping for lunch sometimes but I love grabbing these little bites which is so much better than going hungry and then over eating dinner.

  14. It's been eons since I last made pinwheel wraps. I used to make them all the time before I got married. They're so much fun to eat and also very portable. Loving that you used the light sour cream inside of mayo. And of course anything with a little parmesan cheese action is tops in my book.

  16. This sounds like a great potable lunch. I make my husband's lunches every day and he loves chicken salad. This sounds like such a healthy version, I know he'd love it! And tortillas are such a great alternative to plain bread.

  21. My hubby isn't a fan of mayo either and when I make tuna salad or such I use sour cream too! I love these wraps for after school tennis practice and running errands. Also great starter for a party!

  23. I love a good wrap for lunch (my kids, surprisingly, are a little hit and miss on the subject), but I'm always making it a little too simple. This definitely reminds me to start putting a little bit more into my meal, even when it is ultra-fast and on-the-go. Cheers!
