Serves: 4
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 bone-in skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup peeled and diced mango
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Mist a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on sheet and roast until cooked through and no longer pink inside, 25 to 30 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
  2. Meanwhile, cook brown rice according to package directions.
  3. When chicken is cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred meat from the bone, making 2-inch pieces. Combine chicken, cabbage, mango, rice, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce and sesame oil; mix well.
  4. Spoon mixture diagonally onto centers of wrappers, dividing evenly. Fold both short corners up and over filling. Fold 1 long corner to center; roll towards remaining corner. Transfer rolls to baking sheet, seam side down, and mist with cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Baked Parmesan Fries

Whether you like your fries piping hot or cooled to room temperature, the taste and texture of our Parm variety won’t disappoint. But be sure to use Yukon gold or red potatoes for a moist end result. Avoid using the Russet spuds you may have on hand, as they have a drier, starchier texture.

Nutritional Bonus: One small spud offers 15% of your day’s recommended intake of vitamin B6. The water-soluble B vitamin is vital in the production of serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that help regulate your sleep and mood. 
FOR A TWIST:Try grated Asiago cheese in place of the Parmesan, and dried red pepper flakes in lieu of the ground black pepper.
