Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken I like using chicken thighs
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra-vigin olive oil
  • Zest of one lime
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 large head of bib or butter lettuce washed and large leaves intact

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl combine the oil, zest and juice of the lime, chipotle, cumin and cayenne powders and salt. Whisk to combine the ingredients, add the chicken to the marinade and turn to coat it completely. Let the chicken sit at room temperature in the marinade for up to 30 minutes or so.
  • Place the marinated chicken on a sheet tray or roasting pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through at 165 degrees F. Serve the chicken with the vegetables, lettuce leaves and toppings such as guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
