Are you having a hard time deciding what to make for lunch? Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a delicious and healthy choice for any meal!
Ingredients
- 4 Trocadero lettuce leaves, or any soft lettuce
- 1 carrot
- a few mint sprigs
- a few basil leaves
- a few coriander sprigs
- a few long chives, or the green part of a spring onion
- 1 chicken breast
- 8 Tbsp soy sauce
- 6 Tbsp orange juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 bowl of iced water
Steps
- Gather the ingredients that you will need.
- Make the glaze - Put a saucepan over medium heat and combine the soy sauce, orange juice, garlic and brown sugar into the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and leave it to reduce the quantity by half, which takes about five minutes and then take the pan off the heat.
- Cook the chives - Fill a saucepan halfway full of water and bring it to boil. After the water is boiling add the chives, give them a little stir and cook for one minute. After removing the chives put them into a bowl of iced water for 20 seconds.
- Barbecue the chicken - Brush one side of the chicken with the glaze and put it on the grill. Continue glazing and turning the chicken until it is cooked.
- Cut the chicken - Slice both pieces of chicken in half, lengthwise and set aside.
- Make the wraps - Put one slice of chicken, a few carrots, a little coriander, basil and mint on top of a piece of lettuce and roll the wrap up.
- Serve your wraps - Place your wraps on serving dishes and drizzle glaze onto the top of the wraps.
- Finished.
Tips
- When making your wraps you may wish to put two chives underneath the wrap and tie them in a knot, but don't pull too hard so you break them.
