Looking for a flavorful and nutritious meal that satisfies your taste buds and dietary needs? The Asian Chicken Wrap from Eat Clean Bro is a perfect choice. Packed with grilled teriyaki chicken thighs, fresh cabbage, and carrots, crispy chow mein noodles, and creamy sesame dressing, all wrapped up in a soft white flour tortilla.
Ingredients and Their Benefits
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are a fantastic source of protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. They also contain essential nutrients like zinc, iron, and B vitamins. Unlike chicken breasts, thighs have a slightly higher fat content, which makes them juicier and more flavorful. The teriyaki marinade enhances the taste and provides antioxidants from ingredients like garlic and ginger, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Fresh Cabbage and Carrots
Cabbage and carrots are not just crunchy and delicious; they also bring a host of health benefits:
- Cabbage: This leafy vegetable is low in calories and high in fiber, which aids in digestion and helps you feel full longer. It's also packed with vitamins C and K, and contains antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation. Additionally, cabbage has compounds like sulforaphane, which have been studied for their potential cancer-fighting properties.
- Carrots: Known for their high beta-carotene content, carrots are great for eye health. They convert beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining good vision, immune function, and skin health. Carrots also provide fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, contributing to overall health and wellness.
Crispy Chow Mein Noodles
The crispy chow mein noodles add a satisfying crunch to the wrap, enhancing the texture and providing a contrast to the softer ingredients. While they are more of a treat, they bring a delightful element to the dish. Made from enriched wheat flour, they offer a small amount of protein and iron, although they should be enjoyed in moderation due to their refined carbohydrate content.
Creamy Sesame Dressing
The creamy sesame dressing ties the ingredients together with its rich and nutty flavor. Made with mayonnaise, honey, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sesame oil, this dressing not only tastes great but also offers healthy fats from the sesame oil. Sesame oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. It also contains sesamol and sesamin, antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress in the body.
