Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked
5 ounces shrimp, cooked
1/4 cup scallion
1 head iceberg lettuce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup Splenda granular
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

PREPARE STIR FRY SAUCE (May be done several days ahead): Mix together brown sugar, 2T soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
PREPARE WRAP SAUCE (May be done several days ahead) Mix together Splenda, water, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and soy sauce. Put aside in a bowl to chill and let flavors blend
Dice chicken breasts and sautee' in Pam in a non-stick skillet.
Remove chicken from skillet. Using a knife or a food processor, chop or process both the chicken and shrimp VERY finely. (I really like the rough, crumbly texture you get when you use the food processor on pulse.)
Return shrimp and chicken to pan. Add stir fry sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes for flavors to blend. Add scallions.
Slice off root of lettuce head. Pull your lettuce cups off the outside of the head of lettuce. (Chop up remaining lettuce to use in salads.)
Serve the meat in a bowl, with the lettuce cups on the side. To eat, spoon the mixture using a slotted spoon into the cup of lettuce and pour some of the special sauce over the mixture. Fold up the lettuce up like a tortilla and eat over a bowl.
Serve with some rice to absorb the tasty sauces!

Tips:

Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all the ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
Use Fresh, Crunchy Lettuce: The type of lettuce you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Choose fresh, crisp lettuce that can hold up to the other ingredients. Iceberg, romaine, and butter lettuce are all good options.
Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The sauce is a key component of this dish. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the wraps.
Cook the Chicken and Shrimp Properly: Cook the chicken and shrimp until they are cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken and shrimp will be tough and chewy.
Assemble the Wraps Just Before Serving: The wraps are best when they are assembled just before serving. This will prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken and shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time.
