Chicken Lettuce Wraps

There are all kinds of ways to do these and I take a shortcut (and probably add more calories) and use Stonewall Kitchen Korean BBQ sauce and hoisin sauce. Half of each depending on your heat tolerance because the BBQ sauce is spicy.

You can wrap these in Romaine which is sturdier, but I prefer the delicate, butter texture of Boston Bibb or Butter lettuce.

I top mine with thinly sliced red bell pepper, sliced water chestnuts, cucumber, chopped cashews, and sliced green onions, but you can use anything you like.

This recipe is a lighter version and is made without the sauces mentioned above, but you could cook your chicken in those sauces instead if you prefer.

ENJOY!!

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 wraps and 2 lime wedges)

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon  canola oil
• 1  tablespoon  dark sesame oil
• 1  tablespoon  rice vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2  teaspoons  chili garlic sauce (such as Sriracha)
• 1  teaspoon  grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1/2  teaspoon  grated orange rind
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• Dash of sea salt
• 4  (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• Cooking spray
• 8  Boston lettuce leaves (about 1 head)
• 1  cup  fresh mint leaves (about 10 ounces)
• 1/2  cup  bean sprouts (about 2 ounces)
• 1  lime, cut into 8 wedges
• Chopped peanuts (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 9 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil mixture. Place remaining oil mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken breast halves; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade.

Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; grill 12 minutes or until chicken is done, turning once. Let stand 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Divide chicken evenly among lettuce leaves; top each lettuce leaf with 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon sprouts, and about 1 teaspoon reserved oil mixture. Serve with lime wedges. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.
