Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

*From Cooking Light

Sorry, no picture, but yummy nonetheless! 

1 pound ground chicken

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/8 tsp salt

1 cup vertically sliced red onion

1/2 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped

1/4 cup diced tomato

1 Tb chopped fresh oregano

1 Tb chopped fresh flat-leaft parsley

10 pitted green olives, chopped

1/2 cup (about 3 oz) diced fresh mozzarella cheese

1 Tb fresh lemon juice

8 Bibb lettuce leaves

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken, pepper, and salt to pan; cook for 3 minutes, stirring to crumble. Stir in onion and next 5 ingredients (though olives); cook for 3 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in cheese and juice. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf.

My take: Another hit at our house. It's simple and fairly quick (just lots of chopping), and healthy with lots of veggies. You can substitute ground turkey for the chicken, and we've found that the 93/7 works great - if you go for the 96/4 it ends up being a bit dry. I also just use dried oregano and parsley spices since it's easier - the substitution is usually about 1/3 Tb dried ingredients for 1 Tb fresh. And I've had a hard time finding Bibb leaves, so we usually use Romaine since it's easy to find. But I really like Butter lettuce if it's available.
