Chicken Lettuce Wraps
"This is one of my favorites. The flavors burst in your mouth with every bite. Best of all, you don't need to feel quilty because it's good for you! You will feel like you've indulged while feeling energized by the nutrients. Your kids will even like it!
I don't believe the nutrients caculated is correct, this recipe calls for fresh ingredients as well as boneless skinless chicken breast."

Very, very good. I used some left over salmon instead of the chicken and it worked great. Of course, chicken would be good, too. I cut back a bit on the chili paste..I used maybe 1/2 a tbs and it was plenty hot for us. As for the nutritional info...it defintely seemed wrong to me as well. I entered the ingredients into a calorie counting website and I think had more accurate results: a little less than 300 calories per serving (3 wraps). Thanks so much for sharing! edited to add: Looks like they've corrected the nutritional info...Even better than I'd hoped!

Where do I begin… I am a passionate cook!
I have a very high regard for fine cuisine. More importantly, I love being in the kitchen. The final reward is so satisfying it’s always worth the effort. Like I always say, who wants FLAVOR VISION? I believe flavor vision is the key to understanding food. If you can see with your taste buds you can create any dish you dream of... I am a food lover!
At the end of the day, when you're cooking for yourself and others; you are always guaranteed a satisfying meal! There’s nothing worse than going out to a restaurant and being disappointed because you know you could have made it better.
I live in NYC and let me tell you we have some of the best restaurants from around the world. As for me, I would rather stay home and cook for myself. I guess you could say cooking is my passion…
I’m here to network with other passionate chefs to ensure my library of recipes will continue to grow. I get bored easily and love to try new things. I'm not someone who finds something they like and sticks to it... BORING!
I’m looking forward to sharing ideas with my fellow chefs! Bon Appetit!!!
