So
last night for dinner after spending all weekend baking in the sun all weekend
at a softball tournament my family and I were looking for something quick,
light, and easy to make. Using what I had in the fridge I was able to make a
meal that I think is one of the healthiest meals you will see me blogging
about.
Teriyaki Chicken
Lettuce Wraps
Yields: 4 Servings Prep
Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 15
minutes
2
Large or 4 small Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1
Cup of Soy Sauce
¼ Cup of Brown Sugar
1
Tbs. of Ginger
1 tsp.
of Lemon Juice 1 Sweet Red Pepper
1
Head of Romaine Lettuce 2 Cups of Minute Rice
The
first thing you want to do is combine the Soy Sauce, Brown Sugar, Ginger, and
Lemon Juice and allow them fuse together into a marinate. In the mean time you’ll
want to clean your chicken and dump your marinate over the top of the chicken
and let it sit for about a half hour.
Well
the chicken is marinating you can start to dice your onion and peppers into small
bite size pieces. You can also wash and pull apart your Lettuce so they are
ready for rice and chicken.
You
want to start to cook the chicken over a medium to high heat till its firm and
cooked all the way through. Well the chicken is cook you can work on sauteing the
diced onions and peppers in the canola oil. You can also start the minute rice.
After
the chicken is cooked you will want to allow a few minutes for the chicken to
rest so you don’t lose the juice and the chicken doesn't become too dry.
Once
the onions and peppers a soft and the rice is cooked combine the two and lay a
bed of rice on the lettuce and start to cut the chicken into strips and lay on
top of the rice.
A
quick easy meal that’s a lot healthier than most dinners you might throw
together at the last minute.
Not
to mention who doesn't love a meal you can pick up and eat.
This sounds great, quick, and easy. In this weather I think that this would be a perfect after work meal.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a great meal. I spent about 8 hours out in the sun and the last thing i wanted to do was eat something that was going to sit heavy on my stomach.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds good. I have two little ones and it is hard to find stuff they want to eat. This sounds like something that might work.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really fun recipe that you can play with. Not to mention it's something different that they can pick up and eat without a fork or a spoon. We all know kids and even some adults would prefer to pick up their food rather then use a utensil.
ReplyDeleteSound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank You
ReplyDeleteYou make me starving!! I'll cook with this recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you! this is one of those recipes you can play around with, adding different vegetables to the rice and doctoring the chicken any way you want.
ReplyDeleteI actually tried this out for lunch today and it was fantastic. I think the soy sauce made the difference. It's one of those things that adds just the right amount of uniqueness.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you liked it. In my opinion soy sauce is underutilized in American cooking.
