This is what I made for dinner tonight! It's simple, nutritious and delicious! It's quick to make, makes you feel full and is healthy, filling yet light! A great post-workout meal or when you're hungry and need to make something fast! Especially because my sister and I work all day, it's hard to make complicated dishes during the evening coz we are both so tired!

Chicken Faijta Lettuce Wraps

( serves 2-3 people)

Ingredients

2-3 chicken breasts cut into strips (I used 2)

Boston lettuce or cabbage (or any broad flat leaf lettuce)

1 Green bell pepper

1 large tomato

1 large white onion

lemon pepper herb seasoning

3 garlic cloves

juice of 2-3 lemons

salt

pepper

Preparation

1. Wash the chicken, pat dry and cut into strips

2. put it in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes in lemon juice, garilc, salt, pepper and lemon pepper herb seasoning ( you can use any seasoning you like, the next time i make this i will be adding a tablespoon of taco seasoning!)

3. Grill the chicken until juices run clear and cooked on the inside

4. Add the chopped onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring

5. Add the chopped tomato and green bell pepper ( i cut them into strips)

6. Cook for a few more minutes, make sure the tomatoes don't get too soggy

7. Place the chicken with the grilled vegetables inside a lettuce wrap

8. Drizzle some soya sauce on top et voila!
Variations: Always be creative! You can use minced chicken, minced meat, even add some salsa, shredded chedder cheese, sour cream, or gaucamole for a mexican flavour!

You can also add chopped green onions, shredded carrots to the chicken for a chinese version. You can basically use any of your favorite vegetables.
