Chili Chicken Lettuce Wraps




(Submitted by Brittney)

This recipe is a big hit at our house.  The best part is you can modify the veggies to whatever your family likes best.  It's fresh, light, and really easy to make...the secret is the fresh lime wedges you squeeze onto your wrap right before you gobble it up!

4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/4 cup Asian style sweet chili sauce (I buy mine at Walmart)
2 T fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving

1/2 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced (I use whatever I have in the fridge, this time is was green onion)
1 yellow and/or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 carrot, skinned and cut into matchsticks
1 head of Boston lettuce, leaves separated (I have used cabbage, iceberg, etc as well)

Toss shredded chicken with chili sauce and lime juice, season with salt and pepper if desired.
Assemble lettuce wrap with chicken and your choice of veggies.  Squeeze a lime wedge over wrap before closing sides and eating.
