Honey Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps

INGREDIENTS 

Serves 6 – 8 wraps

• 1 1/2 pounds (750g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Leaves of romaine lettuce
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely minced
• 1/2 seedless cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, diced

Honey Chipotle Marinade

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Chipotle seasoning
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Cilantro Lime Sauce

• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS 

1. Whisk together all of the honey chipotle marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and let sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Meanwhile, whisk together all of the cilantro lime sauce ingredients and refrigerate.

3. When ready to cook, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 4-6 more minutes depending on thickness of chicken, until cooked through. Remove chicken and allow to rest 5 minutes before chopping

4. To a large salad bowl, add diced cucumber, diced avocado, minced red onion, diced tomatoes and chopped chicken. Pour the cilantro lime sauce on top and toss to coat evenly.

5. To assemble the wraps, spoon a good amount of the chicken and veggies on a romaine lettuce leaf and top with more chopped cilantro. Drizzle with remaining cilantro lime sauce and repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves. Serve with hot sauce for more heat if desired. Enjoy!
