Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Although the weather has been complete garbage for the past week or two, today’s sun & heat is giving me hope for this Summer!

Now if you’re like me, Summer means light, easy meals. I find myself always on the go, and therefore spending hours in the kitchen on a week night, isn’t always ideal!

I came up with this meal in early Spring, in hope that it would save me from ordering out, on nights that I don't feel like cooking. It’s easy, healthy, and DELICIOUS!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

·         2 cooked chicken breasts* (this makes enough for 6 wraps) season with cumin, paprika, curry, sea salt & pepper. Baked at 350 for 20-25 minutes

·         1 head of Iceberg Lettuce

·         ½ cup full fat Goat yogurt

·         1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

·         ¼ teaspoon ground Paprika

·         1 tablespoon Lemon zest

·         1 tablespoon fresh chopped Cilantro

·         2 minced Garlic cloves

·         ¼ cup chopped Cashews

·         Sea salt & Pepper

·         Coleslaw mix (Red, Green cabbage & Carrot… this is sold at Adonis or any grocery store)

*I baked the chicken the night before, I prefer the chicken to be cold in the wraps. Plus, with having the chicken already cooked, this makes this recipe even easier! Note that if you’re not a fan of curry, you can season the chicken however you like.

1)    Fry coleslaw mix with a bit of Olive oil (and if you want an extra kick, add in some dried hot chili flakes)

2)    In a small to medium sized bowl, mix yogurt, mustard, paprika, garlic and lemon zest.

3)    Chop the chicken into small cubes, chop cashews and add both ingredients to the yogurt mixture.

4)    Add the fresh chopped cilantro, salt and pepper. Mix all together.

5)    Delicately unroll lettuce, place fried coleslaw and about ¼ cup of the chicken/ yogurt mixture.

6)    Roll & Eat!

Picture quality is pretty terrible... sorry!

Enjoy!!!

Cheers!
