Swanson’s chicken challenged me to create a recipe to solve the 5 o’clock dinner dilemma. My biggest challenge with dinnertime is to remember to set out the meat from the freezer. Nine times out of ten I have a plan, but if that plan requires simply removing the meat from the freezer, my mama brain goes mush and I forget until it’s time to begin making dinner!
When the microwave defrost button is even more than I have time for, I look into my pantry to see what alternatives there might be. A simple can of Swanson’s Premium Chunk Chicken can solve the dinner dilemma in a flash.
I created a Buffalo Chicken and Black Bean Wrap using Swanson’s Premium Chunk Chicken. I am a huge fan of wraps and my family is too. Everything seems to taste good when it is wrapped in a warm tortilla! The bit of heat provided by the wing sauce gives this wrap a grown up flavor, but kids love it too.
How do you solve the 5 O’Clock Dinner Dilemma?

Such delicious and pretty wraps. I hate dethawing meat.
I’ve been craving Buffalo Chicken and was thinking of making the dip for the Super Bowl party…but I’m thinking I need to make these wraps way before that!
Those look both delicious and fast/easy. It’s almost 10pm, but looking at these made me hungry.
