The hubby has been doing a diet where he ate practically nothing, so I have not been cooking. Now that the hardest part of the diet is over (and he lost 35 pounds) I have returned to cooking, with "light" meals. This is from the cooking light website, and surprisingly good. Plus, they were SO easy! I love that. I was lazy today, but would typically serve with a side of fruit to make a more well rounded meal. And, shockingly I didn't make any alterations to this besides adding some chopped green onions, because if you know me you know I love onions....
Ginger-Peanut Chicken-Salad Wraps
Ingredients
1  teaspoon  olive oil (I used sesame oil for a little more flavor)
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.
