These lettuce wraps are bursting with flavor from Italian, Greek, & Mexican influences. Crispy, crunchy, salty, creamy, & tangy. You will love the variety of flavors & textures and your waistline will love the nutritional stats 😉 If there is one thing that makes me sad it is boring food. If you make your healthy food beautiful and full of flavor you won’t feel deprived or dread eating it! Also boring & bland food is a sure way to fail at healthy eating too. Even things that are by nature fairly boring (like egg whites for example) I try to make exciting by adding lots of spices, herbs, & condiments (with a cautious eye on the nutrition label as some condiments can be quite unhealthy). Try making your food more fun and see if it helps you to be more excited about eating healthy if you are in need of some inspiration in that area.
Now on to this yummy recipe!!
Ingredients:
*1/2 pound (or 8 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (raw)
*4 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar (a good quality one)
*4 tablespoons of your favorite Italian dressing (I used Ken’s Light Northern Italian)
*4 large red lettuce leaves (washed & dried well-can substitute any other large lettuce leaf like bibb, romaine, or even cabbage)
*1/2 cup feta cheese
*1/4 cup chopped red onion
*1/2 of a ripe avocado
*1 teaspoon salad supreme seasoning (optional)
Place balsamic vinegar, Italian dressing, and a little water (about 2 tablespoons) in a bowl or sealable plastic bag. Whisk well and add chicken. Now for the fun part! Stab the chicken like a crazy person with two forks so the marinade can really permeate into it lol! Cover bowl or seal bag and place chicken in fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Remove chicken, discard the marinade, and grill or cook chicken on stovetop until done and chicken is white throughout.
Distribute chicken, feta, red onion, and avocado between the 4 lettuce leaves. Evenly sprinkle the salad supreme seasoning over the 4 wraps. Then wrap the lettuce around everything and enjoy!!
