Who needs bread for wraps? I always find that using lettuce cups really allows the flavors of the wrap contents to shine through. This dish has an asian flair, and as a bonus, is kid friendly!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
½ teaspoon arrowroot powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt/pink Himalayan salt to taste
1 head butter lettuce
½ pound chopped chicken breast
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
½ cup matchstick carrots
3 green onions, diced
½ cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
Directions
1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add white wine vinegar, garlic, honey, ginger, arrowroot powder, and salt, mixing well. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes, until thickened to desired consistency. Set aside.
2. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, and heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool.
4. Carefully remove 8 leaves of the butter lettuce and leave whole.
5. Evenly distribute portions of cucumber, carrots, chicken, green onions and mint leaves in the center of each leaf. The leaves can be folded as you eat them – sort of like a taco!
