You are so right - this makes a great wrap! This was easy and quick to fix and was a perfect light lunch with some sweet cherry tomatoes on the side. Thanks for sharing.

Hi. I wonder, can't you use left over grilled chicken breast?. As for browning the almonds, put the almonds on toaster oven's tray and bake for about 5 minutes on 180C hot oven. It come great. Good luck. RP
