Mediterranean Wrap

This recipe came from EatingWell.com. I receive their weekly newsletter. The only changes I made in this recipe was the amount of garlic (obviously), I used regular instead of whole wheat couscous and I used whole wheat wraps in place of spinach wraps.

And as I was making dinner tonight... OUCH! I cut my finger! Yeah so much for getting home from work early. Stupid traffic. Chris offered to help when I got in and I said oh no I'll get it done. I was rushing and was not paying attention... Needless to say Chris finished dinner for me. It reminded me of an episode of The Odd Couple where Felix was in a cooking competition and Oscar had to carry him around to finish his dish! You can see it here.

Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup couscous
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound chicken tenders
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup chopped cucumber
4 10-inch whole wheat wraps

Preparation
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Set aside.
Meanwhile, combine parsley, mint, lemon juice, oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Toss chicken tenders in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the parsley mixture and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the tenders in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked though, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle.
Stir the remaining parsley mixture into the couscous along with tomato and To assemble wraps, spread about 3/4 cup of the couscous mixture onto each wrap. Divide the chicken among the wraps. Roll the wraps up like a burrito, tucking in the sides to hold the ingredients in. Serve cut in half.

I have the Martha Steward's Everyday Food App on my iTouch and yesterday's recipe caught my eye. It was hard not to eat every drop of this. Click here for the recipe.
