Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Recipe #7 

Ingredients: 

• 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
• 1 lime
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
• 1/2 onion, diced 
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can garbonzo beans 
•  3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 head butter lettuce, rinsed and leaves separated
•  coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• Cayenne pepper

First, marinate the chicken in extra-virgin olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Make sure to rub the marinade into the chicken (makes it juicier). 

You can cook your chicken on the stove, broil it in the oven, or on a grill. I use my Cuisinart Griddler and it takes about 8-9 minutes for the chicken to cook.

While the chicken is cooking, get to choppin'! 

Red, green, yellow peppers and onions 

Once the peppers, onions, and cilantro are all diced (making sure to set aside cilantro for the final garnish). Place them in a pan with the black beans and garbonzo beans. Squeeze the lime juice in the pan. 

Once your chicken is cooked, remove and chop the chicken into small pieces. 

Once all your ingredients are cooked, combine all together and place in your lettuce. Top with scallions and cilantro and ejoy! :)
