Inspired by Thai ingredients, this recipe is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Use lettuce instead of a tortilla wrap to reduce calories and carbs, and amp up chicken with lime juice, chiles and basil for a quick and healthy sandwich alternative.

THAI LETTUCE WRAPS
This is one of Rachael Ray's recipes that I got off of the food network website. They're really incredible! Talk about flavor! It's from her 30 minute meals show. However, this took me about 35 minutes to make (with the sesame noodles that she made with them on the same show) probably because I can't chop as fast! They go perfectly with her recipe for 'Cold and Spicy Sesame Noodles'(which can be made un-spicy very easily), which I will also be posting.

THAI CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
I have been looking for something lower carb with crunch and this does the trick! It is pretty spicy so you can cut the chili-garlic sauce (Sriacha) down to 1 teaspoon and add a teaspoon of either soy or teriyaki sauce if you want a milder version. Prep time does not include cooking and shredding the chicken
