Mediterranean Wrap
Makes 4 Wraps
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup couscous, preferably whole wheat
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb chicken tenders
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup chopped cucumber
4 - 10" spinach or sun dried tomato wraps or tortillas
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, set aside.
Meanwhile, combine parsley, mint, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Toss chicken tenders in a medium bowl with 1 tbsp of the parsley mixture. Place the tenders in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces.
Stir the remaining parsley mixture into the couscous along with the tomato and cucumber.
To assemble wraps, spread about 3/4 cup of the couscous mixture onto each wrap. Divide the chicken among the wraps. Roll up the wrap like a burrito and cut in half to serve.
*Because this recipe makes 4 servings, you can make the Mediterranean mixture ahead of time and make the wraps when ready for lunch or dinner
