Dinner suggestions? I have chicken breasts, stock and various vegetables

I’ve recently added a recipe concept to my family’s dinner rotation that uses a lot of what you mention: “make-your-own wraps.” Every time I put it on the table, the wife and kids get really excited, and it’s pretty easy to assemble.

First, I use my Instant Pot to cook the chicken breasts (basic method here), but of course you can use any pressure cooker. They come out cooked and tender and shreddable, not what you’d expect from hammering chicken breasts under pressure. :slight_smile: Depending on what I’m doing in the next two steps, I’ll throw in different herbs/spices before sealing the cooker.

Then, I make a big side of some sort of vegetable/salad type mixture. This is entirely up to you. Southwest style would be torn lettuce + peppers + black beans + corn + scallion. Coleslaw would be shredded cabbage + julienned carrots + pomegranate seeds + red onion. Greek = diced zucchini + sweet peppers + chopped olives + quick-picked shallot + feta. Et cetera, et cetera, y’know, whatever you have on hand. You get the idea, it’s less a recipe and more a flexible foundation.

Then, I make some sort of dressing that complements the above. You want something thick and creamy that will bind the wrap fillings together. My mock Southwest dressing = mayo + ketchup + lime juice + garlic + spices like cumin and paprika.

Then I put all this on the table: bowl of chicken, bowl of veg filling, squeeze bottle with dressing, stack of warm wraps, and I let everybody go to town. Nice convenient dinner, all from scratch so it’s as healthy as you want it to be. My kids enjoy assembling their own wraps with their own preferred proportions, and they devour them without fail.

Chicken and Dumplings is in the regular rotation here. Never a complaint. For the dumplings, I use bisquick mix and milk. Use a ratio that gets you just slightly stickier than biscuit dough and spoon on top of the simmering stew, cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
