Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place chicken breast into a 2 quart saucepan with water (the water should cover the chicken breasts), the kosher salt and half of the lemongrass. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chicken and cool completely. When cooled chop into 1/2 inch cubes and reserve in refrigerator.
  2. Saute garlic, remaining lemongrass and chili powder in oil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Next, toss together the celery, onions, mint, basil and cilantro. Combine chicken with sauteed garlic mixture and the salad components, Add salt, lime juice and honey to taste and place on the lettuce to serve.

Cook’s Note

If you want to make lettuce rolls, then leave a few leaves whole and remove the stiff vein from the lower portion of the leaves. Roll chicken salad up in lettuce leaves for a delicious salad wrap.
