Grilled Chicken & Zucchini Wraps
Teresa Willett of Ontario, Canada, shared this recipe with us. She writes, "These wraps are a huge hit with my family...even my son who claims he doesn't like zucchini!"
4 boneless, skinless
chicken breasts
4 to 6 zucchini, sliced
lengthwise into
1/4-inch thick slices
olive oil
salt and pepper
to taste
1/2 c. low-fat ranch
salad dressing, divided
8 10-inch whole-grain
flour tortillas
8 leaves lettuce
Garnish: shredded Cheddar cheese
Brush chicken and zucchini with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over; add zucchini to grill. Grill 5 minutes longer, or until chicken juices run clear and zucchini is tender. Slice chicken into strips; set aside. For each wrap, spread one tablespoon salad dressing on a tortilla. Top with a lettuce leaf, 1/2 cup chicken and 3 to 4 slices of zucchini. Sprinkle with cheese; roll up. Makes 8 servings.
