Chicken Wraps with Mango, Basil, and Mint
By Jackie618
Recipe from Martha Stewart
Rubbed with basil and spices, baked skinless chicken breast has a bright taste. Mango contributes heart-protective beta-carotene, and the lavash is a good alternative to a flour tortilla, which often has some trans fats. The chicken and the mango dressing can be made one day ahead and stored separately in the refrigerator.

- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves

- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 12 ounces total)
- FOR THE DRESSING
- 1/2 shallot
- 1/2 mango, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- FOR ASSEMBLING

Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the chicken: Finely chop garlic and shallot in a food processor. Add basil and oil, and process until mixture forms a coarse paste. Stir in salt and cinnamon, and season with pepper. Make a few shallow 1/2-inch slits on both sides of chicken; rub all over with the basil mixture. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake chicken until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely, then shred into small pieces; set aside.
2. Make the dressing: Finely chop shallot in the clean bowl of the food processor. Add mango, and process until smooth. Add the lime juice and cayenne, and process until combined.
3. Assemble wraps: Spread about 1/4 cup mango dressing in center of each lavash. Top with chicken, mango, and herbs. Roll up diagonally to form a cone. Wraps can be refrigerated, wrapped in parchment and plastic, up to 4 hours.
