Chicken Wrap With Apples And Dried Cranberries
Chicken Wrap With Apples And Dried Cranberries
Truth is, I seldom eat fast food; not because I'm a goody two-shoes and my mantra is "it shall never pass my lips," but I think mostly because I work from home and there is nothing "fast" about having to go out for a quick meal.
Still, a couple of weeks ago I was running errands and I was hungry and wasn't going to be home for some time so I decided to take the plunge. I saw a Burger King and soon my car was heading through the drive-thru. I hadn't been to a Burger King in years and I was hoping I could just get a Baby Whopper or something… you know, just to tide me over.
Well, son of a gun… they had wraps; see what I miss from never going? The Chicken with Apples and Cranberries sounded appealing and it was available either grilled or fried; I went all the way bad… yes, it was fried baby!
I can't deny, I loved it but I also knew that I wanted to make it at home. How hard could that be? It's not!
