Chicken Salad with Mango and Mint on Flatbread

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
12 mint leaves, roughly chopped
1 piece (1 inch) peeled fresh ginger, finely grated
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coarse salt
6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
4 cups arugula, trimmed (about 4 1/2 ounces)
4 ounces pea shoots
Freshly ground pepper
1 small mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into matchsticks
1 small jícama, peeled and cut into matchsticks
6 soft lavash (or other soft flatbread)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the dressing: Blend the lime juice, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, honey, mint, and ginger in a blender until smooth. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Put the chicken in a medium stockpot, and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer the chicken until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

    Step 3

    Transfer the chicken to a bowl. Let cool slightly. Shred the chicken with your fingers; transfer to a bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons dressing; add the remaining dressing to the chicken. Toss well.

    Step 4

    Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Cook the sugar snap peas until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Transfer to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Drain.

    Step 5

    Put the sugar snap peas, arugula, and pea shoots into a medium bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons dressing; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    Add the mango and jícama to the chicken; toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 7

    Arrange the arugula mixture over each lavash, dividing evenly. Top with the chicken salad. Roll up the lavash to enclose the filling. Cut in half diagonally, and serve.
