1 Roma tomato, diced small
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced rosemary

Steps:

For the topping: Add the artichoke hearts, red onion, diced tomato, lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
For the filling: In a separate large bowl, mix the olive oil, rosemary, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken and toss to combine and coat the chicken.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken to the grill, cook until well marked and golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Chop into small pieces and add the chicken pieces to a serving bowl.
Lay out the bowl of chicken, the topping, the lettuce leaves, cheese, balsamic glaze, pesto and basil on a platter or board and have everyone build their own wraps.
To make a wrap, take one of the butter lettuce leaves and fill with some of the grilled chicken. Add a teaspoon of prepared pesto, then spoon some of the tomato and artichoke topping onto the chicken. Drizzle over the balsamic glaze, sprinkle on the Romano cheese and garnish with fresh basil.

These are so yummy! They taste really close to the lettuce wraps that you can order from that famous Asian restaurant chain. The number of servings will depend on if this is an appetizer or main course for you and how big you make them. If an appetizer, then maybe 6 servings; if a main dish, then 4 servings.

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally and thinly sliced (see Cook's Note)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced

Tips:

Choose medium grain rice or short grain rice as it holds up better in wraps. Jasmine rice and Sushi rice can be used. If you use long grain rice, you can still make this recipe. Just expect the rice to be drier.
Cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool completely before assembling the lettuce wraps.
Use a variety of vegetables in your chicken fried rice to add flavor and texture. Frozen vegetables like peas and corn are great options too.
Make sure to drain the excess oil from the cooked chicken and vegetables before adding them to the rice. This will help to keep the lettuce wraps from getting soggy.
Serve the lettuce wraps with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or soy sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Chicken fried rice lettuce wraps are a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they're also great for parties and potlucks. They can be customized to your liking by adding different vegetables, proteins, and sauces. So get creative and enjoy this delicious and versatile dish!
