Healthy snack: Chicken lettuce wrap

6d2d8eb3 Healthy snack: Chicken lettuce wrap

Here is a delicious snack I made today with ingredients I found in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Cut chicken breast into smaller pieces (about 6-8 depending on size of breast). Season the chicken with garlic salt. Put the jalapeno and meat into the oven. While broiling, bast lightly with a splash of lime and olive oil. Cook chicken pieces thoroughly (8-10 min). Remove from oven and cover lightly with tinfoil for a few minutes afterward to keep warm and seal in juices.

While chicken is cooking, rinse the parsley and green leaf lettuce. You can halve the bigger pieces. When chicken is ready and you have diced the jalapeno, place in this order: green leaf lettuce, one piece of chicken, chunks of jalapeno, shredded carrot, and parsley. Wrap the lettuce around the chicken and veggies and secure with a toothpick and you’re ready to serve! It came out to be a total of 6 wraps.

They were so tasty -which is saying a lot since I’m not known for my cooking abilities. mm mmm good!

Ingredients

* garlic salt, dried basil, lime, olive oil

* 1 skinned, boneless chicken breast

* 1 head of green leaf lettuce

* 1 jalapeno

* shredded carrot

* parsley
