I LOVE lettuce wraps!!!

Okay this blog is supposed to be about healthy nutrition as well as exercise, time for a recipe post. One of my favorite foods is lettuce wraps! Take about any kind of meat, put it in lettuce and voila, you've got a healthy, and hopefully delicious meal right there! It's so simple and so healthy I just get excited thinking about them! 
Tonight I made chicken lettuce wraps, I seasoned half of the chicken with lemon pepper and the other half with "chicken seasoning," and then broiled it. 
Put it in the lettuce and then for toppings I used cilantro, mozzarella cheese, avocado, and cucumber. Put a little dressing on it, I recommend Creamy Avocado, although Italian works well too. And there you have it, easy, delicious, low carb, gluten free (unless it's in the dressing, I didn't check), and most importantly yummy dinner!
I served them with a side dish of homemade Pearl Cous Cous cooked in Chicken broth with lemon juice, peas, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. 

Cilantro, avocado, cumber, and mozzarella.

Large cubed chicken, broiled both sides about 5 minutes each side. Broiling keeps chicken nice and tender.

Dinner is served!

Zelda approved (her lettuce is full of cous cous).

I love this shot of her eating her cous cous wrap.
