I'm all for brown-bagging lunches; it's getting it together in the  morning that's a challenge. I'd always rather have the girls — and my  husband, too — eat something nutritious that I've prepared myself than  leave them to buy food that isn't as fresh and tasty as mine. Here's my  solution: a quick-to-make, absolutely delicious wrap; you can make the  chutney sauce the night before and spend just a few minutes in the  morning assembling them. Super easy!   
If you happen to be making a roast chicken dinner, consider  making a second chicken and saving some of the meat for this terrific  wrap. Or use some rotisserie chicken from the market, or even some  sliced smoked turkey breast. And if you don't have any chutney in the  fridge, treat yourself to a jar of this popular condiment — I like Major  Grey's chutney (it's a type, not a brand). The mango and pear flavors  are great additions when you're looking to jazz up a chicken dinner.    
Chutney Chicken Wrap  
Ingredients  
2 tablespoons chutney
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
4 low-fat tortillas (8-inch diameter)
4 large red-lettuce leaves
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast, or 8 ounces sliced smoked turkey breast
1 cup finely shredded carrots  
Preparation  
Mix the chutney and mayonnaise in a small bowl. If you have time,  cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes for the flavors to develop.   
Spread a scant 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chutney mixture on each  tortilla. Top each with a lettuce leaf, 1/2 cup chicken or 2 ounces  turkey, and 1/4 cup carrots. Roll the wraps tightly and cut in half  diagonally.
