Ingredients

  • 1 cup arils from 1-2 POM Wonderful Pomegranates
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/4 cup bottled Asian salad dressing
  • 1 cup grated or shredded carrot (packaged)
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves (or other green leafy lettuce)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Method

  • 1. Score 1-2 fresh pomegranates and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranates underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine chicken with salad dressing.
  • 3. Add carrots, bell pepper and arils. Toss with a fork.
  • 4. Season mixture with cayenne pepper to taste.
  • 5. Spread eight lettuce leaves on a flat work surface.
  • 6. Divide the chicken mixture on the lettuce leaves and top with cilantro.
  • 7. Roll lettuce leaves to encase the chicken filling. Place on plate seam side down.
