Chicken & Cheese Pretzel Wraps

You know when it is time to make dinner but you haven’t been shopping and you are just trying to find something edible to eat?

Yeah, that is how this meal came to fruition.

This recipe is SUPER easy and it was inspired by one of my favorite OC joints; The Wraper.

I didn’t use a formal recipe for this, I just made it up.

Please don’t make fun. This is all I had in my fridge. Feel free to adjust whatever you want.

Ingredients:

  • 6 Chicken Strips
  • 3 String Cheeses
  • Chicken Seasoning
  • 1 Roll of Pre-made Pretzel Dough

Preparation:

  • Season chicken and bake at 350 for about 20 mins.
  • While chicken is cooking, cut string cheese into halves.
  • When chicken is ready, place one half of string cheese on top of  chicken strip.
  • Turn oven up to 400.
  • When chicken has cooled to the touch, pick up chicken with your thumb on cheese and pointer on other side of chicken.
  • Begin wrapping chicken with pretzel dough starting from the top to the bottom.
  • Place on greased cookie sheet about one inch apart.
  • Using a spray bottle of water or spray butter, lightly coat each wrap.
  • Place in oven for 9-12 min or until golden brown.

yield: 6

A Final Note:

I wanted to use shredded cheese but it turns out that the string cheese was easier to wrap. Win!

I did one wrap with leftover Philly Cheese Steak filling I made last night and instead of wrapping it, I flattened the dough, placed the mix in the middle and then pinched the dough at the top. You can see an example in the picture above.

The pretzel dough (which I got from Aldi’s) came with pretzel salt. I wouldn’t advise using it. I used just a pinch on each one and it really didn’t need it.

Bon Appetit!
