Asian Lettuce Wraps

This recipe looks more complicated than it really is. The grilled chicken was posted earlier this month, but for your convenience I have copied here again. My husband really enjoyed this meal!

 

Grilled Chicken Tenderloins with Cilantro and Lime Juice

• 6 Trader Joe’s Individually Frozen Chicken Breast Tenderloins, thawed.
• 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped

• Sea salt
• Freshly ground pepper

Thaw the chicken breast tenderloins. Blot the chicken with a paper towel. Mix olive oil, lime juice, cilantro and garlic together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Brush the chicken with the marinade.

On a nonstick grilling pan, spread the olive oil with a paper towel. On medium heat, grill the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until cooked. Add more salt and pepper, if needed. Serves 2.
