BBQ Chicken Wraps
Ingredients

4 large, high fiber tortillas (I used Large La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb Tortillas)
8 oz shredded, skinless rotisserie chicken breast
1/2 cup prepared barbecue sauce
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup corn (thawed if frozen, drained if canned)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Juice from 1 lime, freshly squeezed

Instructions
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add all ingredients except tortillas, carrots, cilantro and cabbage; stir to combine. Cook until hot, 4 to 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, and cilantro.
Assemble the wraps by equally diving the cabbage mixture between the 4 tortillas, and place in the center of each tortilla. Top with one-fourth of the chicken mixture; roll as you would a burrito.

Slice in half diagonally and serve warm.

Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce
Ingredients


2 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium shallot, minced
1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
2 tablespoons dry vermouth, or dry white wine
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, or scallion greens

Preparation
Season chicken with pepper and salt on both sides.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once or twice and adjusting the heat to prevent burning, until brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.


Add shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour in vermouth (or wine); simmer until almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cream and chives (or scallions); return to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, turn to coat with sauce and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
