Lunch Box Challenge Day 23: Pear It Up!
September 23, 2013
One of my daughters actaully came up with this sandwich, she put pears into her chicken salad and asked why not put it into a sandwich. Well I say, why not indeed!
Pear It Up
Ingredients for Wrap
Left over pieces of chicken- whether it was grilled, sears, baked fried. Each wrap takes about 1/4 cup of chicken
1 Pear Sliced thinly
Arugula
Sprouts
Cranberries
Tortilla
To assemble the wrap. Lay down the tortilla and place arugula in the center leave the back 3 inches empty as you will fold this . Lay some sprouts down, then lay your two slices of pear down. Place chicken pieces on top . Top with Pear, sprinkle with cranberries To fold start at back, fold the back halfway over your ingredients. Then take one side fold in, and repeat the other side. For easier hold fold parchment paper over this and tape it into place.
I served this with Peas and Strawberries, and if your wondering why I keep serving peas it’s because my garden is exploding with peas. 🙂
Today’s Lunch Box Tip: Try pairing up some fruits with meats in sandwiches. Fruit like pineapple or apples with pork create extra flavor and juice making the kids go for it more. Fruit within salads or sandwiches also creates an added crunch so it’s different for them to try.
Are there any fruit/meat combinations you like ?

What a great idea. I will have to remember it the next time I have some left over chicken…

What a nice flavor combination with the chicken and the pear. I bet the sweet pear really brings out the taste of the chicken.

She had a great idea. I think that would be very good. I like apples and grapes with my chicken salad.

I love apples with pork so I imagine pears would be pretty could with different meats too. I will have to give this a try.

I have never heard of pears and chicken meshing in flavor; that's an interesting combination! I guess she's following in her mom's footsteps in coming up with fun new sandwich ideas. 😉

I love a bit of pineapple with meat I have to say it always seems to add an extra depth to the flavour. x

I've never thought about putting fruits in my meat before. I'm sure it does taste pretty good though.

I've never put fruit in with my meats, I guess I could see where it would be good though. 🙂

How funny that I'm really happy to have a "how to" for the wrap part, haha! I love pears, but it would not have occurred to me to to mix with chicken or cranberries! sounds refreshing!
