A Healthy and Low-carb Dinner Recipe:

Chicken lettuce wrap is a healthy and low-carb dinner recipe in 25 minutes. Usually, I cook rice varieties or chappati (wheat tortilla)  for my dinner that is high in carbohydrates and ended up in weight gain.

I am seriously trying to cut down some pounds, the first thing I heard was to reduce the number of carbs and sugar intake and increase the amount of protein. For first few days, I tried grilled chicken, and slowly I became bored of it and started searching for some interesting and filling low-carb dinner recipe.

I found lettuce wraps recipe on Pinterest, looks interesting for me to try it. I am a fond of spices and its flavor, so I wanted to try the spicy chicken lettuce wraps. I made spicy chicken lettuce wraps for dinner two weeks back and my little kid Aldrich looks little disappointed because he is not much interested in spices, though he is ok with mild spice level.

So I give a twist to spicy chicken lettuce wraps by adding Chinese sauces like ketchup and sriracha sauce that gives mild sweet and sour flavor to the chicken. It worked well with him, and he finished his dinner with a happy face.

1. Make sure to chop the chicken into small pieces, it helps to blend with the spices and sauces easily, and the chicken will be more flavorful.

2. I used Romaine Lettuce in this recipe; you can also your favorite choices like Iceberg or butterhead.

3. Adding tomato ketchup and sriracha sauce is purely your option, you can garnish chicken with some sliced onion and chopped tomato.
