Ingredients

  • 3 green onions

  • ½ 6 ounce package refrigerated cooked chicken breast strips

  • ½ of a medium green sweet pepper, seeded and cut up

  • 3 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil or olive oil

  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

  • 2 tablespoon water

  • 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 8 leaves butterhead (Boston or Bibb) lettuce (about 1 small head)

Directions

  1. Trim off and discard root ends of green onions. Cut off and slice green tops and set aside. In a food processor combine white parts of the green onions, the chicken breast, sweet pepper, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the oil, black pepper and, if desired, crushed red pepper. Cover and pulse with several on-off turns until chicken mixture is finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Divide chicken mixture into four individual microwave safe container; chill.

  2. For the dipping sauce, in a small bowl combine sliced green onion tops, the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the water, and soy sauce. Divide among 4 small containers.

To tote:

Pack chicken mixture, lettuce, and dipping sauce separately in insulated container with ice packs. To serve, cover bowl of chicken mixture with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on 100% power (high) for 45 to 60 seconds or until heated through, stirring once halfway through cooking. Spoon a rounded 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on each lettuce leaf. Roll up and, if desired, cut in half. Serve with dipping sauce.
