- Marinate the chicken. In a large plastic bag place chicken, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing and hot sauce. Rest on the counter up to two hours or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating, be sure to rest chicken at room temperature for up to two hours before grilling. Grill the chicken. Heat a grill pan to medium high. Remove chicken from marinade, removing excess marinade and discarding. Drizzle olive oil over both chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place smooth side down on the grill. Cook until chicken releases easily and grill marks show, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook 3-5 minutes more. Remove to a plate and rest while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Grill the carrots. Drizzle olive oil over carrot spears and season with salt and pepper. Place spears on medium-high grill and cook until limber and charred on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove to a plate. Make salad. In a large bowl add red onion, celery, lettuce, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing and hot sauce. Chop cooled chicken and add to the bowl. Chop grilled carrots and add as well. Toss to combine. Make wrap. Place wrap on a flat surface and scoop 1 quarter of the salad into the center making sure to spread it across the center without touching the edges. Fold both ends in over the salad, then tuck the long end over and begin to roll tightly until done. Secure with a toothpick or wrap with parchment paper and aluminum foil. Refrigerate and serve chilled or at room temperature.

SPICY RANCH GRILLED CHICKEN
Not the quickest way to make chicken, but worth the wait! Super simple marinade... add red pepper flakes to make it even spicier.... Also, chicken tastes extra amazing if you take it off grill, place in corningware-type container with a cover, and let it rest for about 20 or so minutes before serving :o)

- 1. Wash chicken and pat dry.
- 2. Into big plastic bowl, mix chicken with salt, garlic and curry. The add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. This will smell amazing but don't eat it yet; this is still raw chicken, so contain yourself.
- 3. Marinade this overnight.
- 4. Take chicken out and let sit at ROOM temp for about an hour (don't let it sit outside in the heat for an hour before grilling).
- 5. Heat grill to 500*. Sear chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side. The turn off burners directly under chicken (don't turn off all burners). Or, move chicken to the side of the grill and leave burners on the other side. Make sure grill stays above 400*.
- 6. Let chicken sit this way on indirect heat, flipping once or twice, for about 35 minutes until juices run clear. (everyone's grill is different, so just make sure juices are clear and its not pink in the middle).
