Chicken wraps: Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Sweet Chili Thai Wraps

We really like to have wraps for dinner, they are easy and tasty!

The "unhealthy" version: Sweet Chili Thai Chicken Wraps:


The "healthy" version: Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Spicy Mango Chutney:
2 Wraps: 376 Kcal, 36g Protein, 8g fat and 28g Carbs.
(take out the mayo and chutney and it's even healthier)




Sweet Chili Thai Chicken Wraps:

Boneless - skinless chicken breast (cut into large strips)
2 Tbsp Sweet Chili Thai Sauce
1 Tsp Soy Sauce
Lettuce - Shredded
Carrots - Shredded
Cheese
Onions - sliced thin
Oil for frying
Tortillas

Cut your Chicken into large strips (about 4 strips per chicken breast) and mix with a little soy sauce and sweet chili sauce.



Let sit for a few minutes. Then put some plain bread crumbs into a bowl and coat each piece of chicken, one at a time.




Heat your oil (or oven if you want to save some calories) and fry or bake the strips until they are a nice dark golden brown color.




Warm up the tortillas (per package instructions) and then layer lettuce, onions, shredded carrots (not shown) cheese and two strips of chicken. Pour some sweet chili sauce over.



fold the tortilla up from the bottom and then wrap the sides in and secure with a toothpick.



Dig in!

Curry Chicken Lettuce wraps with *Spicy Mango Chutney (*store bought):

1 tsp tomato paste

Green bell peppers - chopped small

1 garlic clove - sliced or minced
1 tsp Light Mayo
1 tsp curry powder
spinkle of salt

2 large pieces of Lettuce

Mix the curry powder, garlic powder, olive oil and tomato paste together. Rub into the chicken breast.



Broil - grill or bake until cooked through



Cut into bite size pieces and set aside.

Mix the cucumbers, bell peppers, mayo, curry, garlic, spring onion and salt all together. (I later added hot chili peppers, freshly cut, for some extra heat)




Take a large piece of lettuce and spread 1 tsp of the Spicy Mango Chutney in it.



Then put a layer of the vegetable mix on top.



Then top it with the chicken pieces




Then roll it up as best as possible - you can try to secure it with a toothpick, but it doesn't always work well.



Grab a few napkins and dig in! This is pretty messy but very delicious!!!
