Chicken Roll-ups with Raspberry Habanero Texas Pepper Jelly Salsa

We encourage you to make these roll-ups your own. How? Simply switch out the raspberry pepper jelly for a flavor of your choice. Raspberry just happens to be one of our favorites.

These are made with smoked chicken. You are welcome to use chopped or shredded chicken just be sure it is cooked chicken that you use.

EQUIPMENT:

• Medium mixing bowl
• Small mixing bowl
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Spoon or spatula
• Plastic wrap or plastic zip bag

INGREDIENTS (Raspberry Pepper Jelly Salsa):

• 1/4 cup diced white onion
• Two tomatoes diced
• 1/4 cup Raspberry Habanero Texas Pepper Jelly

INGREDIENTS:

• One 8-ounce package cream cheese (we use Philadelphia Brand)
• Two 4-ounce cans green chilis – chopped and drained
• One 2-ounce can ripe olives – chopped and drained
• One 2-ounce jar pimentos, diced and drained
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Craig’s Chipotle Seasoning
• One pound smoked chicken breast slices, thin
• 8-10 flour tortillas (8-10 inch size)

DIRECTIONS FOR CHICKEN ROLL-UPS:

• In a medium bowl, use a spoon or spatula to mix together the softened cream cheese, chilies, olives, pimientos, garlic powder, and Craig’s Chipotle Seasoning.
• Spread the mixture on one side of each tortilla, keeping about 1/4 inch from the side. Place a chicken slice on top of this mixture and roll it up tightly.
• Roll each filled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Another option is to pack several of them into a plastic zip bag (be sure they’re snug so they don’t unroll).
• You can serve immediately or refrigerate overnight.

DIRECTIONS FOR RASPBERRY SALSA

• In a small bowl, mix together all the salsa ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 25 minutes.
• Serve the chicken roll-ups with the raspberry pepper jelly salsa you prepared.

Hint: We like to buy our chicken breast slices from our local deli. It usually has a great smoked flavor. Which, in our opinion, is an added bonus when it comes to the flavor of these chicken roll-ups.

Plus, they can slice to the thickness you like and they will all be the same. Equally sized portions are a key to better cooking.

Enjoy.

Some extras you can add are lettuce, shredded cheese, and smoked turkey.
