Ginger-Peanut Chicken-Salad Wrap


This recipe is SO good. I made it last night when some friends came over for dinner. Two wraps are perfect for one person. Hubbys like three. :-)


Yield

8 servings (serving size: 1 wrap)

Ingredients

  • 1  teaspoon  olive oil
  • 6  (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
  • 1  cup  chopped seeded peeled cucumber
  • 3/4  cup  chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  sugar
  • 1  tablespoon  minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1  garlic clove, crushed
  • 1/4  cup  creamy peanut butter
  • 2  tablespoons  water
  • 3  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8  (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
  • 4  cups  chopped romaine lettuce

Preparation

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove the chicken from pan; cool. Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Place chicken, cucumber, and bell pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
Place sugar and the next 6 ingredients (sugar through garlic) in a blender, and process until smooth. Add peanut butter and water; process until smooth, scraping sides. Add peanut butter mixture to chicken mixture; stir well. Add cilantro, and toss well. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto each tortilla; top each serving with 1/2 cup lettuce, and roll up.
