Chicken lettuce wraps with mustard and onion are a delicious and healthy meal option, perfect for a light lunch or dinner. This recipe combines tender chicken breast with the tangy flavor of mustard and the crunch of fresh lettuce, providing a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

Ingredients:

1 chicken breasts
120g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup onion
18g
1/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese
54g
1 leaf lettuce
16g
1 tbsp mustard
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Clean and pat dry the chicken breast. Slice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced chicken to the pan. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the pan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- In a bowl, mix together the cooked chicken and onions with the lowfat cottage cheese.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
- Wash the lettuce leaf and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Lay the lettuce leaf flat on a plate.
- Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of the lettuce leaf.
- Drizzle the mustard evenly over the chicken mixture.
5. Wrap and Serve:
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce over the chicken mixture, forming a wrap.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.

Tips:

- For added flavor, marinate the chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.

- Chop the onion finely to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients while providing a mild sweetness to the dish.

- To save time, you can use pre-cooked or leftover chicken breast.

- Feel free to use different types of lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce, to suit your preference.

- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished wrap for a zesty twist.

- For an extra kick, you can mix a little bit of sriracha or hot sauce with the mustard.
