I hope you have all had the opportunity to enjoy the lettuce cups the P.F. Changs and Pei Wei serve. They are awesome-however, I would have to say they have numerous more calories then the following recipe that I found in my latest Cooking Light Magazine!
The recipe is for Chicken Larb-not the most appetizing name for something but don't let that stop you.
2 Tbsp Red curry paste
1 pound chicken breast
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/3 c chopped english cucumber
1/4 c shallots
3 Tbsp cilantro
2 Tbsp lime juice
8 cabbage leaves
Combine curry paste, chicken and salt in a food processor, process until smooth. Het a large skillet. Add oil to the pan and saute chicken mixture for about 6 minutes being sure to break up the chicken into very small pieces. Cook until crumbly and chicken is cooked. Remove chicken from pan add cucmber and next 3 ingredients-heat this thru and then add chicken back to pan.
Divide mixture thru 8 cabbage leaves, serving size is two leaves.
This serving is 174 calories!
I substituted chopped broccoli for the cucumber and it was extremely tasty-also you could use any large leafy lettuce for serving cups.
Another tip is to top with a little chili paste or asian hot sauce.
Enjoy this one-it is definately a keeper
