Hello everyone. Here's a recipe for those days when you want something nutricious but not too filling - no tortillas or pitta, just some lettuce for the wraps and pan fried chicken and bell peppers for the filling. Get round the table with family or friends, a little chat and then spoon some chicken into a leaf, wrap and pop it into your mouth now and then - there's no better way to spend a lazy lunch time! This dish can be ready to eat in fifteen minutes so it's just the job for a quick, light lunch or supper meal. If you want to try your hand at this, you can find the written recipe just below and the Youtube tutorial by clicking Japanese style chicken in Lettuce wraps or scroll to the bottom of the page.


Happy wrapping! Kurumi XXXX.
