Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps


My fiance and I had a craving for something messy and refreshing on a hot summer day. Solution Lettuce wraps! A few minor tweaks to an old recipe and we had a healthy fast alternative to an Asian inspired favorite. This recipe is quick, great for a week night and it gave us a few left overs for lunch the next day.

4-6oz of grilled chicken breast, chopped into small cubes
1/2 cup of bean sprouts
1/2 cup of leeks
2 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of Simply Asia Tsao Stir-Fry Sauce
1 head of cabbage (for leaves)
5 sprays Spray olive oil

In a wok or frying pan. Spray your pan with a little bit of spray olive oil. Add chopped leeks, and garlic stir until soft. Add beans sprouts and chopped grilled chicken, as soon as everything is warm add in 3 table spoons of Simply Asia Tsao Stir-Fry Sauce and mix thoroughly. Add mixture to a bowl. Pull your cabbage apart. Assemble, your lettuce wraps and enjoy!
