Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ready to dig into these lettuce wraps!
Get a load of these beauties! I think it’s safe to say that everyone has tried a lettuce wrap of some sort at one point or another in their lives, but let me tell you, these puppies are super easy, and fresh crisp and delish! With just a few simple ingredients, they’re fun to make and even more fun to eat. It’s not rocket science with these bad boys so be creative! Use what you got and improvise to your liking.
Get yourself some nice pieces of chicken, we used drumsticks because we had them, but any piece of bone-in (or out) chicken would work (keep the skin on for extra tastiness!). Marinade the meat for anywhere from 30 minutes to over night in either a homemade, or store bought teriyaki sauce. Slow cook the meat on your grill over medium heat until done. Pull the meat from the bone and coarsely chop. Thin slice the cucumber. Tear off some pieces of Boston Lettuce (I find this type of lettuce works best because of its soft flexible nature). Now you’re ready to go! Pile the chicken onto the center of a piece of lettuce, squirt on some sauce (we used a very delicious MisoMayo we found at whole foods) and top with a few slices of cuke.
VOILA
we liked them so much, I think we will be making these again tonight!
The Story of Riane
Told by Mo
One of the first and most memorable meals I shared with Riane was over a bottle of chilled chardonnay and a steaming pot of fondue. With nearly ten women on her guest list, Riane whipped up the yummiest beer and mustard fondue I’ve ever had. This cook must have known the way to a crow’s heart is undoubtedly through cheese! Needless to say, our friendship continued to grow from there.
Hailing from the great state of Oregon Riane Welch grew up loving the outdoors. Her love of Mother Nature shows in her cooking, as Riane is one of the fiercest grilling machines that ever walked the earth. Combining summer sun with a grilled meal can only lead to success as Riane has showed us with dishes such as giant portobellos topped with manchego and spinach, juicy flavorful burgers and seafood skewers. The adventurous Riane has also been known to add a little Asian flair to her meals with her spring rolls, hand-rolled sushi and delicious stir-frys.
Have I mentioned this Crow’s love affair with mushrooms? As far as Riane is concerned, the more mushrooms the merrier! The same can be said of her company-Riane loves to cook for big groups (as all Crows do) and whether it’s fondue, sushi or a big mushroom soup, this crow can whip up a family style meal in two shakes of a lambs tail! Her adventurous attitude towards food and her generous nature make cooking with Riane a true pleasure to anyone who has the chance to team up with her in the kitchen.
