When you read the title to this post, Caprese chicken lettuce wraps, do you immediately think toddler food? NOPE. That’s a big negative. But what’s a Mom to do when she’s craving something light, fresh, and Caprese-esc?! Well, Momma gets what she wants. And then the toddlers and preschoolers get something similar with a few things they like to.

Sometimes a Caprese salad [solo] isn’t the most filling meal, so when a little protein like rotisserie chicken is in the mix, the extra protein is a satiating addition. I had a feeling the kids wouldn’t be thrilled with my, “brown chicken,” as Anthony called it, so I saved some on the side to use on their plates without the dressing. I’ve talked about deconstructing dinners in the past and why that works for our family, and THIS meal is just one example of many as to why it works for us. That and the Doritos. The Doritos explain it all.

My meal set-up.
The kids’ meal set-up. See the Doritos?!

I pictured this meal being served at a book club, girlfriends luncheon, or in the backyard sunbathing with a big glass of Pinot Grigio. Since I’m not doing any of those things right now I’ll settle [happily] with my trio, a quick weeknight meal using a store-bought shortcut, and a bag of Doritos.
