I was in the mood for something a little different tonight for dinner so I opened my fridge and stared at the contents and put my Accidental Chef hat on. I had some leftover chicken and some rice as well as some new gluten-free wraps that I wanted to try so I decided to make wraps. I turned on the iPod and cranked some tunes and Diana Krall appeared singing “Peel Me A Grape.” I was wrapping chicken so hopefully this will do as a substitute for her. This recipe makes a great dinner or lunch (tastes great with cold leftovers too).
Wrap Me A Chicken
1 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 medium onion, chopped
1 cup romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup cooked brown or white rice
2 whole gluten-free tortillas (or whole-wheat tortillas)
1 tablespoon fat-free salad dressing (optional)
Spray medium-sized pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until slightly browned, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add raw chicken and sauté until browned and no pink remains in center of each piece. Remove pan from heat. Place tortillas on plates. Put half the lettuce on each tortilla, followed by half the chicken, half the dressing, and half the rice. To assemble wraps, roll tortilla around contents, securing each with a toothpick if necessary. Makes 2 wraps. Note: If you don’t have wraps, you can use whole romaine lettuce leaves or large bibb salad leaves as wraps. Omit the lettuce from inside the wrap if you do.
