Organized Meal Planning

This recipe for Chicken Asparagus Wraps can be made with many “leftover” ingredients, or as we like to call it: “Reincarnating The Leftover”.

Cooked chicken for this recipe came from our Italian Baked Chicken.  We also stored half of our sliced red bell pepper from this recipe to store for our Chicken Asparagus Wraps in a method we like to call “Reusing Time”.

Does this recipe look “leftover” to you?  That’s because it’s been reincarnated.
