Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

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)

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Blend the lime juice, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, honey, mint, and ginger in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Put the sugar snap peas, arugula, and pea shoots into a medium bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons dressing; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mango and jícama to the chicken; toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 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.
