Wrap it Up!

In an effort to use some leftover chicken sausage and remain somewhat healthy with dinner, I suggested chicken lettuce wraps the other night.  The preparation was fairly simple and Gabe was up for it, as he always is with most of the ideas I suggest (so long as some type of meat is involved).  


To begin, Gabe chopped up some white onion, crimini mushrooms, and carrots.  I helped by washing and drying the lettuce leaves.  

 

Gabe browned the onion in some olive oil and set aside the chicken sausage which was cooked in a separate pan.

When the onion was browned he added the chicken sausage, carrots, mushrooms, and sauteed it in the Soyaki sauce. The aroma of the ingredients cooking together filled the entire kitchen with a delicious smell that made my mouth begin to water!

After the mixture was cooked through we sat down to a beautiful presentation complete with sliced carrots, red pepper flakes (for an extra kick) and some chopped up cilantro.  

Two lettuce wraps later my stomach was satisfied and I must say it was probably the healthiest chicken wrap I have ever eaten!  There was no sense of feeling bloated or overwhelmed by the sauce flavor and the amount was just perfect.
