Jamaican Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 8 leaves lettuce (I used boston lettuce, but iceberg lettuce works too)
  • 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces
  • 1 to 2 tbsp Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 lime cut into slices

Sauce:
* 1/3 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tsp Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

Instructions:
1. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
2. 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. You can also bake them instead.
3. Make the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise with a bit of Jamaican jerk seasoning.
4. 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.
