BBQ Chicken and Broccoli Wrap

3 ounces rotisserie chicken breast, shredded    

                                                      

cup drained canned corn

½ cup broccoli slaw

2 teaspoons jarred barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon reduced-fat ranch dressing

1 multigrain Flatout Soft 100% Whole Wheat Flatbread

Place chicken, corn, broccoli slaw, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing in a medium bowl. Mix until everything is coated. Place mixture on the Flatout wrap and carefully roll up. If desired, cut in half before serving.

Preparation Tips: You can find broccoli slaw in the produce section, next to the bagged lettuce. For this recipe, you can also use plain cooked chicken breast. It has fewer calories than rotisserie chicken, but less flavor.

Italian Quinoa Salad

¼ cup dry quinoa

2 ounces drained chunk light tuna in water
½ cup rinsed and drained canned garbanzo beans
½ small cucumber, peeled and chopped

5 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

2 tablespoons light Italian dressing, such as Wish-Bone Light Italian

Cook quinoa according to package directions. Let cool. Place cooked quinoa in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix to combine. If desired, chill before serving.

Health Tip: Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a gluten-free grain: it doesn’t have any of the gluten proteins found in wheat and rye that many folks are trying to avoid for better health. Quinoa has a mild flavor that mixes well with other ingredients, and it’s rich in protein, making it a great choice for vegetarians.
