Ingredient Breakdown:
What’s in It & Why It Works

Cabbage Lettuce Peppers and Bean Sprouts

Each ingredient plays a key role in balancing flavor, texture, and nutrition of this sandwich. Here’s why this recipe comes together so beautifully:

Chinese Cabbage:
Light, crisp, and slightly peppery, Chinese cabbage adds bulk without overpowering the other ingredients. It’s a great source of vitamins C and K, both essential for immunity and bone health.

Iceberg Lettuce:
While it’s not the most nutrient-dense lettuce, iceberg brings a cool, refreshing crunch to each bite. It hydrates and adds a satisfying crisp texture.

Bean Sprouts:
These delicate, crunchy sprouts bring an earthy freshness to the wrap. They’re packed with fiber, antioxidants, and folate, which support digestive health and metabolism.

Red Bell Pepper:
Vibrant and slightly sweet, red bell peppers add color and balance. They’re high in vitamin A and C, great for skin health and immunity.

Ginger Dressing Soy Sauce Tortillas and Chicken Breasts

Bottled Ginger Salad Dressing:
This is where the wrap gets its signature Asian-inspired flair. Ginger brings a warm spice while the dressing adds acidity and depth. Ginger is also known for its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce:
Soy sauce enhances the umami, savory notes while keeping sodium levels lower than regular soy sauce. It adds complexity and rounds out the flavors.

Flour Tortillas:
The vessel that holds everything together! You can opt for plain flour tortillas or flavored varieties like spinach or sun-dried tomato for added taste.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts:
The protein powerhouse of the dish, grilled chicken is lean, filling, and perfectly tender when sliced thinly. It’s high in protein and B vitamins, supporting energy production and muscle growth.
