We love these chicken lettuce wraps filled with honey dijon marinated chicken, hummus, and veggies. We love our homemade hummus but use store-bought hummus if you need to. We also make our tahini dressing (it’s simple). If you don’t have the time to make it, use your favorite salad dressing as a substitute.
You Will Need
Honey Dijon Chicken
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon pure honey
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (about half a lemon)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon canola oil
Lettuce Wraps
12 sturdy lettuce leaves, iceberg, bibb, butter, Boston and little gem work well
1 cup hummus, see our homemade hummus recipe
1/4 hothouse or seedless cucumber, cut into thin strips
1/2 red or yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves and tender stems
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup tahini sauce or favorite salad dressing, see our tahini sauce recipe
Directions
Prepare Chicken
Whisk mustard, honey, lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small dish that will fit both chicken breasts. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
To cook the chicken, heat oil in a medium stainless steel skillet with a lid over medium heat until the oil looks shimmery. Carefully lay chicken breasts into the hot skillet. Cook until the chicken is golden brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Since there are mustard and honey in the marinade, the chicken will darken quickly.
Carefully flip the chicken breasts and cover them with a lid. Turn the heat to low and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 165° Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the breast, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it on a diagonal into 1/2-inch strips.
Make Lettuce Wraps
Divide the hummus, sliced vegetables, parsley, and feta cheese between the lettuce leaves. Add a slice or two of chicken, then top with tahini sauce or dressing.
