BBQ Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Oriental Cole Slaw

Me and my husband actually came up with this idea one night when we were both really hungry. He wanted BBQ chicken and I actually wanted a salad....but this is what we came up with, and it was really good!

Ingredients: 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
                   Your favorite bbq sauce
                   Tortillas
                   
*For the slaw:   Package of coleslaw mix (16oz)
                         6-8 green onions, chopped
                          1/2 cup butter
                          1 head of broccoli, cut into pieces (cut most of the stem off too)
                           2 (3 oz.) packages chicken flavored ramen noodles
                         1 cup slivered almonds
                           1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
                         1/2 cup sugar
                          1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
                         1/2  cup olive oil
                         1 tsp. soy sauce


               The cole slaw is really good by itself too! It would make a good side item :)
Directions: For the bbq chicken, just boil your chicken in water on the stove until done. Then, just shred it or cut it into pieces and pour bbq sauce on top.
   For the slaw:   Get a HUGE bowl and dump the coleslaw mix, chopped green onions and broccoli pieces in. Set aside.
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble the ramen noodles into a bowl, and mix with the almonds and sunflower seeds. Sprinkle the seasoning packets that came with the noodles in there. Then, add it all to the skillet. Cook and stir until the noodles and nuts are toasted. (about 8 minutes)
   In a jar with a tight lid, combine the sugar, vinegar, olive oil, and soy sauce. Seal it and shake hard to blend together.
    Right before serving, combine the slaw mixture with the nuts and noodles. Pour the dressing over all, and stir briefly to coat.

* Get a tortilla, put some bbq chicken in it, and top with the coleslaw. yum!

*Serving size: For the actual meal as a wrap...it will make about 4-6 (since we only had 2-3 chicken breasts) but the coleslaw makes a TON!
