Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps





So I'm listening to the Drive @ 5 Street Mix on z1035 and it is making me crave something feisty for dinner. My sister from another mister is coming home from St. Kit's in a few days so I think I'll cook up something with a little island flavour. Spicy lovers will not be disappointed. Sinful confession: though I would like to stick to my "make it yourself" credo, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know jack about jerk. So I buy an organic jerk chicken sauce for this recipe.

1/2 cup of chopped red pepper
1/2 cup of chopped green pepper
a handful of chopped broccoli
1/2 cup of chopped red onion
1 chicken breast (you guessed it...chopped into cubes)
3 heart of romaine lettuce leaves
2 tablespoons of Sable and Rosenfeld's Tipsy Jerk

Pre-heat a skillet on medium heat. Pour two tablespoons of Tipsy Jerk until it starts to sizzle. Then add chicken and cook for 10 minutes. Once the chicken is almost cooked add the broccoli, peppers and red onion. Cook for about 5 minutes. Make sure the chicken is cooked after the veggies have been added (test one piece to make sure it is white all the way through). Once everything is cooked you can scoop the mix into the grooves of the romaine lettuce leaves.

Word to the wise, have a tall glass of water beside you while you eat this. This will set your soul (and taste buds) on fire.
