A low-calorie version of the kinds of lettuce wraps you might get at PF Changs. I modified several lettuce wrap recipes to use lower calorie ingredients and ended up with something we really enjoyed. We hope you enjoy it too!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked
5 ounces shrimp, cooked
1/4 cup scallion
1 head iceberg lettuce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup Splenda granular
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • PREPARE STIR FRY SAUCE (May be done several days ahead): Mix together brown sugar, 2T soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
  • PREPARE WRAP SAUCE (May be done several days ahead) Mix together Splenda, water, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and soy sauce. Put aside in a bowl to chill and let flavors blend
  • Dice chicken breasts and sautee' in Pam in a non-stick skillet.
  • Remove chicken from skillet. Using a knife or a food processor, chop or process both the chicken and shrimp VERY finely. (I really like the rough, crumbly texture you get when you use the food processor on pulse.)
  • Return shrimp and chicken to pan. Add stir fry sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes for flavors to blend. Add scallions.
  • Slice off root of lettuce head. Pull your lettuce cups off the outside of the head of lettuce. (Chop up remaining lettuce to use in salads.)
  • Serve the meat in a bowl, with the lettuce cups on the side. To eat, spoon the mixture using a slotted spoon into the cup of lettuce and pour some of the special sauce over the mixture. Fold up the lettuce up like a tortilla and eat over a bowl.
  • Serve with some rice to absorb the tasty sauces!

These lettuce wraps were just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the lettuce wraps were a bit too soggy. I think I'll stick to my regular chicken and shrimp recipes.
