It has been demanded that I bring this wrap to all future gatherings! LOL I made the chicken the night before and wrapped them up in sun dried basil or jalapeno tortilla's with the dressing and romaine lettuce. They stored well overnight and were great cold the next day. Super simple make ahead potluck lunch that will definitely be made again!!

Great recipe, a wonderful change of pace for those chicken breasts. Made for a great lunch. Loved the unusual to me spice combination. Used wraps because that was what I had on hand - I am sure it would be just as good using the pita bread. Redsie's photo is so appealing - it has me adding pitas to the grocery list for next time around - and there will be a next time for this great tasting chicken recipe. Thank you Aliyah&Aaron's mum.

I think my favorite part of this wrap, was the mayo (I did change it a bit - I didn't have any chile, so added some cayenne pepper for a kick)!! Also loved the mix of different tastes (radishes, tomatoes and the coriander). Will be making again (my dbf loved this!!). Thanks Aaliyah's mum! :)
