Ingredients
- 8 leaves lettuce I used Boston lettuce, but iceburg lettuce works
- 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces
- 1 to 2 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
- ¼ cup peanuts chopped
- 3 green onions chopped
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 lime cut in slices
Sauce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
Instructions
- Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Sprinkle 1 or 2 tbsp of the Jamaican jerk seasoning over the chicken and toss making sure each piece is generously seasoned. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, it will cook in about 5 to 7 minutes or so because pieces are fairly small.
- Make the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise with a bit of Jamaican jerk seasoning.
- To assemble the lettuce wraps, top each lettuce leaf with some of the coleslaw mix, chicken, green onions, cilantro, peanuts and drizzle with a bit of the mayo sauce.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 8 or 9 lettuce wraps, 2 wraps per serving.
