Pacific Rim Chicken With Wrapper

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

2 c Thinly sliced cooked
-chicken; torn into shreds
1 c Bean sprouts; rinsed
1 c Thinly sliced bok choy; or
-celery or napa cabbage
1 Carrot; peeled and cut into
-long slices
1 Ripe mango; peeled and cut
-into 1/2-inch dice
1/3 c Apricot jam
1 ts Grated fresh ginger; or
-preferred spice
1/4 c Cider vinegar
1/2 ts Curry powder
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1/4 ts Tabasco sauce
Salt and black pepper;
-freshly ground
3 Whole-wheat pita bread

The dressing for this refreshing filling of crunchy vegetables,
delicate chicken, and luscious mango is similar to a chutney, but it
needs no cooking. Substitute jarred mango slices from the produce
section if ripe mango are unavailable.

SUGGESTED WRAPPERS: Rice paper pancakes; 8-inch flour tortillas; 6-7-inch
pita rounds; or large lettuce leaves.

1) Combine the chicken, bean spouts, bok choy, carrot, and mango in a
mixing bowl.

2) In a small bowl, combine the apricot jam, ginger, vinegar, curry powder,
Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco. Stir well and season with salt and
pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the filling, and toss gently to coat all the
ingredients.

3) Fill a wide mixing bowl with very hot tap water. Place a damp tea towel
in front of you on the counter. Place the rice paper pancakes on a plate,
and cover with a barely damp towel. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.

4) Fill one rice paper pancake at a time, keeping the remainder covered.
Totally immerse the pancake in the hot water for 2 seconds. Remove it and
place it on the damp tea towel; it will become pliable within a few
seconds. Gently fold the front edge of the pancake 1/3 of the way to the
top. Place a portion of salad on the folded-up edge, and shape it into a
log, leaving a 1/2-inch margin on each side. Fold the sides over the
filling, and roll tightly but gently, beginning with the filled side. Take
a second sheet of rice paper, and soften it. Place the filled roll in the
center of the sheet, fold the sides over it, and roll it gently.

5) Place the roll on the baking sheet, and continue to fill the rice paper
pancakes in the same manner. Cut each roll in half on the diagonal, and
serve immediately.

NOTE: If using flour tortillas, place a portion of salad along one edge of
each one, leaving a 1+1/2-inch margin on both sides. Tuck the sides in to
enclose the filling, and then wrap the tortillas firmly but gently,
beginning with the filled side. Cut in half on the diagonal, and serve
immediately.

If using pocket bread, warm in a toaster oven until slightly puffy. Cut
each round in half; fill.

EACH: 163 cals, 2g fat (8%).

Variations: Alfalfa sprouts. Julienned bok choy or shreds. Omit wraps.
Serve on lettuce in a tostada. Serve as on fine pasta/noodles or strands of
spaghetti squash.
