Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Last week's new recipe for 2013 was DELICIOUS!

Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe to share with you because I came up with it all on my own. So, let me share with you on how I prepared these amazing Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

Ingredients:

-Chicken
-Red Pepper
-1 Carrot Stick
-Chinese Five Spice Blend
-Sesame Garlic Sauce
-Romaine Lettuce Hearts
-Lime

*All these ingredients can altered and/or changed to be to your liking!*

1- Cut the chicken into long slices and/or cubes.
2- Season the chicken before putting in the pan with the Chinese Five Spice Blend and some salt and pepper.
3- Cook the chicken in a pan, medium to low heat, in some olive oil with Pam.
4- Cut up the red pepper into cubes and add that to the chicken in the pan. Continue to mix until fully cooked.
5- Shred one carrot stick; and put to the side.
6- Wash individual Lettuce pieces. (As many as you need for as many as you are serving)
7- Heat up a generous amount of the Sesame Garlic Sauce for about 15-20 seconds.
8- Dry off lettuce.
9- Drizzle the heated Sesame Garlic Sauce onto the lettuce.
10- Once chicken is fully cooked. Place that along with the red peppers onto the lettuce- the top/largest part is best.
12- Next place the carrots on top of the chicken and red peppers.
13- Lastly, squeeze a lime over the ingredients to add a little zing!

...and voila, you have Chicken Asian Lettuce Wraps! All that's left to do, is to fold it up and enjoy!


What's great about this meal is that it was super easy and quick to make as well as being easy to add different ingredients to! The options are endless; there are so many different things you can add to it or change, so make it your own! 

It was healthy, light and very enjoyable! Great to use as an appetizer or a main course.

What would you put in your own lettuce wraps? Let me know!

Petite Abeille

If you are looking for a great place for breakfast in New York City, you must go to Petite Abeille ! They have different locations throughout the city so take a look at their website and pick which one is best for you! They are known for their Belgian Waffles! Look at the scrumptious breakfast I had below... Doesn't that just look so yummy?! I had the berry waffle and the omelette on the other end of the table was filled with brie (MY FAVORITE) and sun dried tomatoes. It was so good! The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice as well.  I went to the location on 17th Street and look at this fella who stopped by to say hello... What was also awesome about Petite Abeille, was that they had dinner specials for each night of the week! If you're looking for somewhere new to try out in New York City I would definitely recommend this place! Let me know what you get to eat! XO, FunSized
