Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Monday's are busy for most of us and thinking of easy, healthy, and inexpensive meals are often hard to think of during those busy days. Here is a simple, fast, and economically affordable meal that your family will love! This recipe will make 5 lettuce wraps.
Recipe
2 Thin sliced chicken breasts cut into strips.Italian dressing
Romaine lettuce
Tomatoes cut into small pieces
1 Cucumber diced and seeded (Lightly salt diced cucumber and set aside for about 5-10 minutes. Drain excess liquid)
Purple onion
1/2 cup of sour creme
1/2 Plain Greek Yogurt
1 handful of cilantro
Italian seasoning. (Parsley, basil, oregano, and thyme)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
Lemon - The juice of 1/2 a lemon
Tzatiki Sauce
Add a 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup of sour creme. If you do not have one or the other, this recipe will work with all sour creme, or all Greek yogurt. Next add about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, chopped cilantro, cucumber, and the juice of about 1/4 lemon. Stir.
Directions
Add salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to chicken. If you do not have an indoor grill pan, then use a regular frying pan. Add Italian dressing to bottom of frying pan. Add seasoned chicken. Cook until golden brown. While chicken is browning. Slice 5 leaves of Romaine lettuce into strips and dice tomatoes. I used about 15 cherry tomatoes, or about 2 Roma tomatoes. Cut about 1/4 of a purple onion into strips. Add sliced lettuce,tomatoes, and purple onion to bowl. Toss lightly with Italian dressing. I only used about 1 Tablespoon of Italian dressing. Assemble. Add salad mixture to lettuce cups. Add chicken and Tzatiki sauce. Be creative! add Feta cheese or other cheese if desired.
NOTE: Adding salt to the diced and seeded cucumber before adding to tzatiki sauce will help to draw out some of the moisture, preventing the sauce from becoming too watery. It's a simple, fast trick that will improve the consistency of your sauce.
