COLLARD WRAPS:

4 collard leaves, stems removed, halved lengthwise

2 cups boiling water

PREPARE THE VEGETABLE ROLL MIXTURE:

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.

PREPARE THE CHICKEN:

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.

PREPARE THE NUT CREAM:

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth but thick, adding water if needed.

ASSEMBLE THE ROLLS:

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.
