Last night I made chicken cabbage wraps with a side of quinoa (and chia seeds) and veggies (I had some broccoli and zucchini left from my farmer's market trip).
I put chicken breasts in my slow cooker with a bottle of soy ginger marinade. I really like the soyaki sauce from TJs but there are more ingredients in that bottle than I care for. I found a similar sauce at Whole Foods that I decided to try. While it was tasty and had the flavor I was hoping for, it was pretty darn spicy. I will buy this bottle again but next time I'll probably dilute it with water.
I separated a head of cabbage, washed the leaves and set them aside. I used a fork to shred the chicken and then I added diced water chestnuts and some extra sauce to the mixture.
While some of these ingredients aren't favorable (sugar) they are all pronounceable and they are all "real".
To go along with our chicken wraps, I sautéd some broccoli and zucchini in sesame oil with a little bit of minced garlic and I made some quinoa with chia seeds. 
I hydrate the chia seeds first and then add them to the quinoa when it's about 3/4 done.
