Chicken Lettuce Wraps
 

If you have never tried lettuce wraps, try this version filled with chicken, assorted shredded veggies, and spicy hoisin sauce for a fun meal or starter.

4 servings/serving size: 1/4 recipe

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups shredded red cabbage or Napa cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 cup bean sprouts
2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 head butter tip or red leaf lettuce

1. In large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, heat sesame oil over medium heat and sauté garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrot, and bean sprouts for 2–3 minutes or until cabbage is limp.
2. Stir in chicken, hoisin sauce, and water chestnuts. Place filling on whole lettuce leaves and roll up.

Terrific Tidbit: If you don’t have sesame oil, don’t skip the recipe; just use olive or canola oil instead.
