Just like last winter I was obsessed with a Pot Roast Recipe, this delicious recipe for Mango Chicken Wraps is hands down my FAVORITE recipe find of the summer!
It’s super easy, healthy and uses ingredients like jicama that I rarely know what to do with. Best of all – it requires ZERO COOKING!!
And with summer temperatures in Texas routinely hitting 100 degrees – not having to use the stove or oven for dinner can be a real blessing!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup(s) chopped jicama
- 1/2 cup(s) packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (sriracha), plus more to taste
- Salt to taste
- 3 cup(s) coarsely shredded chicken meat (from 1/2 rotisserie chicken)
- 12 Boston lettuce leaves
DIRECTIONS:
1. In large bowl, combine mango, jicama, mint, lime juice, oil, chili sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine. If making ahead, cover bowl and refrigerate mixture up to overnight.
2. To serve, add chicken to mango mixture; toss to combine. Place 1/3 cup chicken mixture in each lettuce leaf.
** If you make this recipe for children I’d suggest you skip the hot sauce. If it’s just for adults- I suggest you double the hot sauce:)
ENJOY!!

My oldest son just found mangos to be his very favorite fruit. I think it has something to do with the TV show LOST. They ate mangos all the time. Anyway I think he’d just love this dish. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe! I tried a similar one earlier this summer, but it wasn’t much more than quac., chicken, mango’s, and some sauce. This sounds delicious!
This looks tasty! I will definitely be trying it.

Hi Shannon!
I tried leaving you a message in your ‘contact me’ page but for some reason it would not get submitted- just kept saying ‘wait a moment…” Anyway, I wanted to tell you thank you for stopping by my blog! That was so fun to get a new reader. 🙂
Am excited to follow you as well. Best wishes!

Sounds really good. Since my husband was put on a special diet for his cholesterol I am constantly trying to find some good chicken recipes and also push veggies and fruit more. Definitely going to try it. Stopped over here from the blogfrog.
I am going to make these very soon. This is so up my alley foodwise. Yum!
