Chicken Mango Lettuce Wraps (click here for picutures!)
-
Summer is officially officially here, and you know what that means, no matter what part of the world you’re in – HEAT!!! It’ s too hot to do to and from the grocery store shopping for ingredients to whip up a meal, it’s too hot to stand in line to pay for those ingredients, and it is definitely too H-O-T HOT to slave over a hot stove for additional hours on end trying to make something to eat.
It’s summer time. It’s time to relax by or in the pool, go to the movies (see Inception!), watch the sunset, and enjoy meals that are refreshing, healthy and delicious, and that require close to nothing to assemble.
Chicken Mango Lettuce wraps are the perfect summer treat because they are refreshing; they’re a way to get in a serving of fruit, vegetables and protein so they’re very balanced and healthy. They require close to nothing to assemble – just a few house hold staples , just lettuce, rotisserie chicken, and fruit, and there you go a balanced and refreshing meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day guilt free. Best of all NO STOVE REQUIRED!
Check out my video for this stove-less recipe!
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 cups of chopped chicken
1 large mango cubed
3/4 cups of chopped jicama
1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro
8 Butter Leaf Lettuce Cups
For The Vinaigrette:
2 tablespoon of light extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup of orange juice
Salt
McCormick Peppercorn Medley
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of honey
Directions:
First whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette being mindful to have equal parts honey to mustard (you can also use honey-mustard if you like), season with salt and McCormick pepper medley to taste, then set aside.
Next toss together ingredients for the wraps filling (minus the lettuce of course), drizzle with vinaigrette, toss once more, and fill lettuce cups with mixture. Enjoy!
