Pesto-Style Chicken Wrap

Submitted by HopeJohnJP

"I modified Tyler Florence's basil mayonnaise by greatly increasing the amount of basil and with the addition of Parmesan. We can't have tree nuts at our house, but I'd bet grinding walnuts into the mayonnaise would add a terrific woody texture and aroma to the whole dish. I usually prep cook the night before: that's why I dressed the cooked chicken with oil and pepper, so it would stay nice and moist."

Great chicken wrap! I used regular tomatoes instead of sun-dried and no chives, otherwise made as directed. Loved the basil/parmesan mayo on this. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2009
