Cheesy Chicken and Rice Wraps

I'm sorry to interupt your regularly scheduled program.

I know you think I only eat cookies and brownies and scones.  I regret to say I don't. Now that would be the life.

I'm the resident lunch lady at our house and if I had my way, we would eat spinach and mushrooms and artichokes and avocados and tomato basil pizza all the time. 

Reality check. I live with three boys who overall, don't like veggies. Or chocolate. And definitely not mushrooms. So in order to please their picky palates, I have to be pretty generic and not very creative. My creativity scares them. 

But there are exceptions!  They adore this recipe. I made it up while scouring the fridge one afternoon and it has since been perfected over the part few months. Who knew, their feedback can be helpful!  It is a very simple recipe and comes together in a matter if minutes since I use already cooked chicken and rice. Usually, we have those leftovers on hand, but it would probably taste even better if you grill the chicken and bake the rice that day. I just don't want to spend they much time on lunch:)

It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with rice and chicken. If your family likes beans, go ahead and stir in about a cup, reducing the amounts of chicken and rice. This is versatile and delicious and works wonderfully for all the members of my family.
