Chicken lettuce cups



I am always looking for ways to use up left over roast chicken. Being as I am the only meat eater in the house I find it difficult to eat a whole roast chook in one sitting…although having said that I do have a good crack at it!
One of my favourite ways of eating left over roast chicken is to serve it in lettuce cups. I prefer a lettuce cup instead of a sandwich at times especially if I am feeling a bit ‘breaded out’ or feel like something light.

Trust me these babies really hit the spot.

Per serve
2 iceberg lettuce cups
100grams shredded left over chicken (cold)
½ green apple cored, peeled and cut into match sticks
1 tablespoon whole egg mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Salt and white pepper to taste

Fill a bowl with luke warm water large enough to hold an iceberg lettuce. Add lettuce and leave for a few minutes, this process allows the leaves to pull away easily so you don tear the lettuce cups.

Once separated keep lettuce cups in cold water so they remain crisp.

Combine remaining ingredients well and place in lettuce cups…Eat!
