These chicken wraps utilize lettuce microgreens and will double up as a light meal or a lunch box idea. To prepare for the lunch box, simply wrap in cling wrap so it remains in tact. I love the crispiness of the meal, the freshness of the lettuce microgreens and cucumber, the smoothness and tanginess of the mayonnaise and lastly, the sweet contrast the pineapple adds to the whole mix! Enjoy!
