Healthy, because
The tender chicken breast fillet provides plenty of protein, which is good for strong muscles, and the dairy products score points with a good portion of calcium, which is important for healthy bones and teeth.
Even smarter
You can vary these wraps however you want. Instead of arugula, you can use any other type of lettuce. The cheddar can also be replaced by gouda, parmesan, or another cheese. If you prefer the wraps to be vegetarian, then replace the chicken with avocado slices.
