With the weather getting warmer I've been craving lighter meals with lots of crispy and refreshing vegetables that don't take forever to put together. 

These delicious Chicken and Vegetable Lettuce Bundles can be made with leftover roast chicken and come together quickly and easily.

Here's an overview of the ingredients and steps for making these Asian style lettuce bundles. The complete recipe can be found at the end of this post.

Ingredients Overview:

  • Roasted chicken 
  • Boston lettuce
  • Carrots
  • Red bell pepper
  • English cucumber
  • Green onions
  • Hoisin sauce 
  • Chopped cilantro 
  • Peanuts (optional)

Steps Overview:

Shred the amount of chicken you need.

Wash and slice your vegetables. I like to use my mandolin to slice up the vegetables quickly. I used carrots, cucumber, sweet red bell pepper and green onions.

Add some fresh cilantro (you can leave it out if you don't like it) and some chopped peanuts. 

Pile all the vegetables up in little bundles on a large plate.

How to Serve

Your guests can make their own bundles and choose the veggies they prefer.

I like to serve these Chicken and Vegetable Lettuce Bundles with Hoisin sauce, but it's also delicious with the peanut butter dressing from this Asian Salad recipe.
