Chicken Lettuce Wraps



I make these lettuce wraps every so often because they are so tasty and quick. I found the recipe for the sauce on Pinterest.com which was used for a spicy asian noodle dish (which is very amazing as well). I thought it'd be great for chicken lettuce wraps! Here's the step by step how to:


Step 1 Making the Sauce--In a small bowl mix 2 Tbsp. each of Soy Sauce, Toasted Sesame Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Sriracha, and Red Chili Pepper Flakes (I think the spicier the better but if you can't handle spice, easy on the Sriracha if any at all).


Step 2 Cooking the Chicken--As I said earlier, these are HEALTHY, which means using a George Foreman instead of frying the chicken entirely. Dice into small squares and throw em on the Foreman.


Step 3 Sautéing the Chicken--In a frying pan, heat a small amount of Coconut Spread (a healthier alternative to cooking oil or butter, found at Whole Foods) and toss in cooked chicken and sauce. Simmer for just a few minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the sauce.


Step 4 Rinse lettuce leaves and enjoy!


Note: I didn't have any on hand but to add to the flavor, dice up a little jalapeno, green bell pepper, and onion and sauté it with the chicken and sauce. Also, if the lettuce leaves annoy you, make it a salad.
