Healthy Mediterranean Wrap

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup water
• ⅓ cup couscous, preferably whole-wheat
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• ½ cup chopped fresh mint
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  

• ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 1 cup chopped cucumber
• 4  10-inch spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps or tortillas

DIRECTIONS

1. 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.
2. Meanwhile, combine parsley, mint, lemon juice, oil, garlic, ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Toss chicken tenders in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the parsley mixture and the remaining ⅛ 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.
4. Stir the remaining parsley mixture into the couscous along with tomato and cucumber.
5. To assemble wraps, spread about ¾ 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.
