Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ever bored of eating the same salad with side of grilled chicken breast?

I do get bored - in fact I cannot eat the same food for more than two days(tolerance to same food increased from one time meal to two days, courtesy the strict diet recommendations :) ).

This is an equally healthy twist to your dinner - super easy to cook and fun to eat :)

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp of fresh ginger paste
3 tsp of fresh garlic paste
3 green chillies(suit your spice level)
Chopped coriander for serving
Some oregano for optional seasoning

Method:
1. Take a healthy looking chicken breast and cut it into small chunks(as small as possible and cut it for as long as you have patience :) )

2. Optional step - heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a wok.

3. Put ginger-garlic-chilly paste in the wok and cook for about 40-50 seconds.

4. Add your chicken to it. For seasoning add just a little freshly ground black pepper and salt.

5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.

6. Then add 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar to chicken and cover the wok.

7. After 5 minutes you will see that the chicken has oozed out the water. At this point, cook it till the chicken is tender and juicy and the water is almost evaporated.


8. Add chopped coriander and some dried oregano. Your filling is ready!



Serve this in a fresh and crisp lettuce leaf. You can add finely chopped cucumber, green or red pepper, celery, green onion or cabbage if you'd like :)

Enjoy!
