This is a healthy & refreshing meal, that is low-fat and pretty simple to make. It has a bit of an Asian twist to it with the cilantro and curry; especially when you substitute rice paper in place of tortillas. It also make a great appetizer, if you want to slice the wraps into 4 pieces after rolling them. Ingredients:
8 ounces chicken breasts, boiled |
1 cup apple, with skin diced 1/4-inch |
1/2 cup celery, diced |
1/4 cup red onion, diced |
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped |
1/4 cup almonds, slivered (optional) |
6 ounces cranberry sauce (whole or jellied, preferably whole) |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
2 teaspoons curry powder |
4 low-fat flour tortillas, 10-inch |
2 cups baby spinach leaves, fresh |
salt & pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Finely chop boiled chicken (it will look like tuna).
2. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, apples, celery, red onion, cilantro, and almonds. Mix well.
3. In a small bowl, combine cranberry sauce, vinegar, and curry powder. Mix well.
4. Combine mixture from small bowl into mixture into mixture in medium bowl. Mix well.
5. Place about 1/4 C baby spinach in center on a tortilla; allow at least 2 1/2 around for wrapping.
6. Place 3/4 C Chicken salad on top of spinach leaves.
7. Fold left and right side of wrap, then roll.
8. Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
9. Optional Substitutes - Substitute 1/4 C Light Mayo and 1/2 C Apple Juice for Cranberry Sauce. Substitute 4 Rice Paper, 10-inch for Tortillas.
10. To use Rice Paper:.
11. Separate rice paper onto 4 plates. Take one rice paper and completely dampen both sides with water. Lie rice paper flat on plate and allow paper to absorb water. After 1-2 minutes, paper will be delicate and flexible (Note: if paper is still hard, dampen hard areas with water, and allow rice paper to absorb. Do not allow paper to sit too long, or it will dry out.). Place about 1/4 C baby spinach in center on rice paper; allow at least 2 1/2 around for wrapping. Place 3/4 C Chicken salad on top of spinach leaves. Fold left and right side of paper, then gently roll; being careful not to tear paper. Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
