Submitted by moergan

"Just came up with this while trying to find a way to make chicken wraps that were flavorful enough to add some variety to the Atkins diet."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 white onion
• 6 garlic cloves
• 4.92-9.85 ml Chinese five spice powder
• 44.37-59.16 ml hoisin sauce
• 14.79-29.58 ml soy sauce
• 4.92-9.85 ml black pepper
• 29.58 ml butter
• 1 large leaves iceberg lettuce

directions

1. Cut chicken breasts into thin strips. Add butter to skillet and melt over medium to high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook 1 minute to get the flavors flowing into the butter. Add chicken, hoisin sauce and cook until chicken is white on the outside but still pink on the inside (approximately 5 minutes). Add the chinese five spice, black pepper and soy sauce and cook another 5 minutes on medium to high heat, reduce temperature and simmer covered 5-10 minutes so the chicken becomes tender.
2. Fold into lettuce wraps!
3. This is very filling, low carb and low calorie. Enjoy!

I am truly shocked that this recipe has been on here for 5 years and I will only be the second person to review it. Seriously, no one else has tried it? This was really good. I followed the recipe exactly as far as what the ingredients are but I never measure (unless baking) and I chopped the chicken up. Other than that no changes. I will definitely make this again and share this recipe. Thank you.

This was fabulous! I needed something quick, and I didn't have water chestnuts or mushrooms to use, although they would be a wonderful addition to this. I was craving lettuce wraps, and after my 5th, I am SO full, but it made my pregnant belly happy! :) Thanks for posting this!
