Curried Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This summer, Parisa and I have been on a mission to be healthy and wrap something in lettuce. After much kitchen deliberation, we finally figured it out. These wraps are healthy, quick and tasty. The perfect summer lunch food. A cool glass of lemonade was all this meal was missing!


Ingredients:
2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
1 1/2 cup cubed granny-smith apples
2 Tbs light mayonnaise
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 c walnut pieces
1 package bib lettuce
curry powder
salt and pepper
paprika



We cooked 2 chicken breasts by boiling them, and then shredded them to make about 2 cups of chicken.  When cooled, mix the chicken with mayo, apple slices, lemon juice, and walnut pieces, stirring to coat evenly.  Season the salad with curry powder, paprika, salt and pepper to taste.  You can add more mayo if desired, but we found that we only really needed 2 Tbs to give the chicken a good coating.

Bibb lettuce is a buttery variety that tastes great with curried chicken, and is plenty flexible for making wraps.  Remove the larger outer leafs from the head and wash, and then add a generous scoop of chicken salad to each lettuce leaf.  Roll and enjoy!
