Recipe: Easy Lettuce Cups With Chicken

November 6, 2013 by Beeb 3 Comments

Easy Lettuce Cups

Compensation provided for recipe creation.

Between the buckets of leftover Halloween candy and extra holiday activities, this is a challenging month to eat well. This time last year, Jai and I were on a pre-portioned diet program, which meant we didn’t have to think or worry about what to eat – all our portions and meals were already taken care of, which made it effortless to stay on track. Now that we’re “On our own”, so to speak, I have to think ahead to make sure I’ve got good options I can grab with a minimum of fuss. I’ve been inspired by recipes like this one for lettuce cups to create my own easy version; this is what I created for lunch recently.

Recipe Note: This recipe utilizes pre-cooked chicken breasts. To save time, I’ve been baking several trays of boneless, skinless chicken breasts seasoned with Char Crust, then freezing them in individual bags. Then, when I’m ready to eat, I can defrost one of the chicken breasts in my microwave and use it for whatever I want to cook (Or just eat it by itself!). Because the chicken breasts are already seasoned, I didn’t add any additional flavorings to the recipe, but you can easily adapt this to whatever you have on hand.

The caloric amount on this is approximate, as I did my best to work out how many calories each ingredient has using Google. This recipe feeds two – these are modest lunchtime portions, but you can easily bulk this up with more veggies as desired.

    Oh I love your idea of cooking some chicken ahead of time and freezing it for later instead of buy precooked chicken. This recipe looks good!

    These look both healthy and delicious! And easy to make, too! This would be perfect with a side of brown rice.
