Pesto Chicken and Roasted Pepper Wraps





This is a South Beach Diet Phase 2 wrap





Serves 2


Ingredients


2 6-inch whole-wheat tortillas


2 tablespoons bottled pesto sauce


1/2 package (3-ounces)grilled chicken strips


1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper


1 ounce bottled roasted red bell peppers, drained and halved


2 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded


4 leaves of green leaf lettuce


Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions


Preheat oven to 350掳F. Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread the pesto evenly over each and top with mozzarella. In a microwave-safe bowl, toss together chicken strips, peppers, salt, and black pepper, and cook in the microwave until heated through. While chicken heats up, warm or toast tortillas with cheese. Divide chicken and peppers between tortillas on top of cheese. Top with a lettuce leaf and roll up, tucking in the ends.
Cut into nugget size flour, egg then dip into panko bread crumbs or regular crumbs then fry in some olive oil....Delicious!
1 can of cream of mushroom soup, some fried onions, and toast on the side. It's simple and delicious. If you don't like cream of mushroom, there are many other cream soups to use, too! Take care.
Marinade it in Hawaiian marinade (vons has it) for about 45 min. Then either cook it in the oven (with a little water so that it doesn't dry out) uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 to 60 min. After about 30 min. cut one piece in the center, if it's still pink then keep cooking it. Serve with fresh pineapple and coconut rice. You can make coconut rice by cooking it as usual, then when done added shredded coconut and a little bit of coconut cream (found in the liquor aisle).
A quick way that doesn't allow the meat to be dry and keeps it low fat... (boneless chicken breasts)





Wash chicken and pat dry.





Take a spreader and knife and spread mayonnaise on both sides of the chicken.





Sprinkle (coat) chicken with prepared dried italian seasoning (comes in a bottle already mixed). You can use any of the other spices you might like (cajun, southwest, etc)





Pat the seasonings in to the mayonnaise.





Put in heated skillet with no oil (YES!)





Cook on each side for about 5-8 minutes.

Example:


Chicken Breast Stuffed with Spinach Blue Cheese and Bacon





';This is a recipe I came up with while trying to use up some leftovers from another recipe. You can add more or less pepper depending on your taste. My family liked it hope you do to.';





Recipe yield: 4 servings.


Prep Time:15


MinutesCook Time:30


MinutesReady In:45





INGREDIENTS:


8 slices bacon


4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness


1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry


1 cup crumbled blue cheese


2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper


1/4 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons olive oil





DIRECTIONS:


Cook bacon until crisp. I prefer to use an indoor grill. Bacon can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat, or the microwave at about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and blue cheese.





Crumble in the bacon, and stir to distribute.





Lay the chicken breast halves out on a clean surface, and distribute the spinach mixture evenly onto the centers of them.





Fold the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.





Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on top and bottom. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.





Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear, and filling is hot.
