Chicken In Lettuce Leaves

    Cuisine:

    A few days ago there was a request of what to do with lots of lettuce, which can be frozen--while I am not sure if this can be frozen or not, it seems like a wonderful dish to use up lots of lettuce (and not make salad!). There is a lot of chopping/dicing in this recipe so by using a food processor prep time will be reduce substancially.Bon Appetit (June 1982)

    Chicken in Lettuce Leaves, A few days ago there was a request of what to do with lots of lettuce, which can be frozen–while I am not sure if this can be frozen or not, it seems like a wonderful dish to use up lots of lettuce (and not make salad!) There is a lot of chopping/dicing in this recipe so by using a food processor prep time will be reduce substancially Bon Appetit (June 1982), Wow, what great flavor in this chicken wrap! I really enjoyed the flavor and they were easier to put together then it looks I prepared all the veggies and sauce ahead of time and then just threw it together during the cooking I did omit the water chestnuts because of personal preference and I blanked on what kind of pepper would be similar to a green chili I ended up with a poblano and only used 1/4 cup There was a mild ‘heat’ to the chicken and made a terrific supper used iceburg lettuce but would maybe suggest a less ‘breakable’ lettuce, like Boston Bibb I kept ripping the lettuce leaves as I was wrapping them I would make this again, thanks Ellie!
