Dinner: Lettuce Wraps -- Easy Chicken and Vegetable Lettuce Wraps

Always looking for something healthy to feed the kids AND something to do with the leftovers from last weeks healthy attempt. This works great for both. Serve with a few other options on the table as to not overwhelm the demons.


2 or 3 carrots -- multi-colors preferred, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3/4 cup jicama, chopped
1/2 to 1 cup, cauliflower -- super chopped
1/2 cup broccoli slaw or cabbage
1 cup snow peas or sugar snap peas, chopped
1 small head bok choy, chopped
1 cup cooked chicken, chopped
1/2 green onions, chopped
2 t. salt
2 to 4 tablespoons butter
1 t. better than bouyon paste
1 t. balsamic vinegar
1 t. soy sauce
water


In a food processor, first add carrots, celery, onion, jicama and pulse until ground very finely. Pour out into a large bowl. Add cauliflower, cabbage or slaw, peas, and bok choy to the food processor (make sure they are all chopped before you add them). Pour out into the large bowl. Add chicken, green onions, and bouyon  paste. Add to the large bowl and mix. Store in fridge until ready to serve. When ready to serve. scoop cups of the mixture into a frying pan. Add salt, balsamic, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon butter. Mix on high and then reduce heat to medium of slow. Add 1 tablespoon water if mixture looks dry. The mixture should look a little like cooked ground turkey or chicken.

Serve on leaves of head lettuce.

Garnish with soy sauce, green onions, sesame seeds, or riced cauliflower.

(My photo took a bath today so there are no pictures. But all of my children ate this and a visiting 5 year old asked for seconds.)
