Tandoori Chicken Salad {Lactose Free!}
| February 23, 2012 | Filled under Chicken and Poultry, Indian, Light, Salads, Sandwiches, special projects |
When Yoplait recently asked me if I would be interested in creating a few recipes using their new line of lactose-free yogurt, and I immediately told them that I was, and that I’d love to make this salad. I used to make it all time time – in fact, I used to make tandoori chicken for the sole purpose of having leftovers to use in this tandoori chicken salad – but somehow I let it fall of my radar completely. It’s actually been 6 years since I had it last! (I distinctly remember that I ate it in a pita while sitting on my balcony and writing a paper for grad school.)
Anyway, I was really excited that I remembered it existed, but I unfortunately jumped the gun a little by assuming that the yogurt was available in plain. (I should have realized there would be a catch, since they specifically mentioned that they were interested in savory recipes!).

Ginger Sesame Chicken Wrap …For One
| December 11, 2011 | Filled under Asian, Chicken and Poultry, Cooking For One, Light, One Pan, Quick Weeknight Meals, Sandwiches, special projects |
As soon as I started doing research on the Marzetti Simply Dressed product line, I knew that I wanted to create a recipe with the ginger-sesame dressing. As I read the ingredient list and saw that it included ginger puree, my mouth immediately started watering. (Yes, I’ve clearly been a little obsessed with ginger lately.)
When I opened the bottle and took a sniff, I knew that I had made the right choice – this stuff sounds, looks, smells, and tastes amazing! It was so good that I actually went back and tweaked my recipe to include more of the dressing than I had originally planned for. Even after that, I was tempted to dunk my wrap in even more dressing. (I didn’t though. The dressing is good, but I didn’t want to put on so much that it would overpower the fresh and delicate flavor of the vegetables.) This one is definitely a keeper! Read More

Ginger-Sesame Chicken Wrap for One
Serves 1.
Prep Time: 5 minutes; Total Time: 15 minutes
Inspired by the fresh flavor of Vietnamese Banh Mi, this Ginger-Sesame Chicken Wrap is full of crisp vegetables. Serve it with a side salad and either baked sweet potato puffs or Thai barbecue potato chips. These wraps are delicious warm and cold, so go ahead and make an extra for tomorrow’s lunch!
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Marzetti Simply Dressed Ginger-Sesame dressing
- 2 (approx 1/8 pound) Chicken Breast Tenders
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 Carrot
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1 large Spinach Wrap, or other flavor of your choice
- 1/4 cup Baby Lettuce/ Spring Mix
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Roast Peanuts, chopped
Preparation
- Add the chicken and 3 Tablespoons of the dressing to a small bowl. Let the chicken marinate for at least 5 minutes, or refrigerate and let marinate overnight. Heat the olive oil in a pan set over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken tenders and cook, flipping once or twice, about 7 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and cut into a 1-inch dice.
- While the chicken is cooking, use a vegetable peeler to cut the carrot into thin ribbons. Remove the seeds from the cucumber and cut the flesh into matchstick-sized pieces.
- Arrange the wrap on your plate. Toss the lettuce and remaining 1 Tablespoon of dressing and arrange in the center portion of the wrap. Top with the diced chicken and remaining ingredients. Fold one end of the wrap up to cover the filling, the roll it up. Cut in half and enjoy!
