The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet: Activate Your Body's Natural Ability to Burn Fat and Lose Weight Fast (91 page)
4 collard leaves, stems removed, halved lengthwise
2 cups boiling water
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the thyme, rosemary, and salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer and carefully add the chicken breasts. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes; remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for about 10 minutes. When the breasts are cool, shred with a fork or by hand.
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth but thick, adding water if needed.
Lay the collard leaves on a baking tray and slowly pour the boiling water over them to soften the leaves; drain, let cool, and pat dry. Combine the nut cream, shredded chicken, and vegetable mixture. Lay one collard leaf smooth side down and spoon about ½ cup of filling onto one end, then wrap tightly. Continue until all the rolls are made and serve two to a person.
