Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps

How are your goals coming?  We are 13 days into January and hopefully you’re still plugging along, keeping on track.  Today is Tasty Tuesday and I have a yummy clean eating recipe for you:  Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps.

Here’s what you need to make this:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
•  salt and pepper
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 large onion,  thinly sliced
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 t. grated peeled ginger
• 1/4 to 1/2 t. red-pepper flakes
• 3 T. soy sauce
• 3 T. rice vinegar
• 1 1/2 t. cornstarch, mixed with 1 T.water
• 12 to 16 Boston lettuce leaves (about 2 heads)

1.  In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, transfer to a bowl.
2. Add remaining T. of oil to pan, also add the onion and bell pepper. Cook  until onion is tender and golden, about 4 minutes (reduce heat if browning too quickly).
3. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.
4. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch mixture; remove from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat. Serve in lettuce cups.

You can serve with brown rice if you want but I like them just like they are!
