Ingredients

Chicken filling:

26 ounces skinned, boneless chicken breasts
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks lemongrass, minced
1/2 cup soybean oil
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
Fresh black pepper

Wrapping mixture:

10 large rice paper wrappers
1 package rice noodles, soaked in warm water until softened and drained
1 head romaine lettuce, cut into 3/4-inch lengths
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into thin strips
1/2 cup pickled daikon, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
2 cups bean sprouts
1 bunch basil, cleaned and leaves picked
1 bunch mint , cleaned and leaves picked

Directions

Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Combine all ingredients for the filling in a bowl, mix well and cover. Marinate for about 1 hour at room temperature. Preheat a grill. Grill chicken in pieces (cut to preference) until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Serve with dipping sauce.

My kids call these see-through burritos
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love the traditional preparation of this recipe, which uses top round beef sliced paper thin. This allows the marinade to... do its thing quickly and also for fast cooking on a hot electric griddle/frying pan. Kudos to Rachel for adding her own twist with the chicken, although I've never heard of people using parsley in their wraps. Read more

Yummy Lettuce Wraps
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the chicken filling and wrapped it with the romaine lettuce. I served it with the sauce.....to die for!! I didn't... bother with all the extra veggies since I have had a similar chicken-lettuce wrap at a restaurant that I loved!! I bet it would be great with the extra veggies, though!! It looked great on Rachel's $40 episode!!Read more
