Time 30m

Yield 6 wraps, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup daikon radish, shredded (I used just regular radish)
2 carrots, shredded
1/4 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup scallion, chopped (about 3)
1/4 cup szechuan sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, juiced
1 head bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Split boneless chicken in half. It too thick, pound out to make thinner.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together radish, carrots, bean sprouts and scallions. Add Szechwan sauce.
  • In a small bowl, mix together five-spice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Season chicken lightly with rub. Cut the chicken into strips.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, add the oil. Once hot, sear the chicken for 4 minutes on each side. Add butter and lemon to pan and baste the chicken for another minute. Remove chicken to a platte to let cool.
  • Once cooled, dice or shred chicken.
  • Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and the shredded chicken onto each leaf or lettuce. Roll and serve.
