- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper To Taste
- 1/2 pounds Angel Hair Pasta, Cooked Al Dente
- 1 whole Head Of Iceberg Lettuce, Cored, Soaked In Cold Water, Drained
- Start by marinating your chicken in the lemon juice, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Coat everything, and set aside.
- Next, make the Greek vegetable mix.
- Combine the feta cheese, tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, cucumber, capers, olives, remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Mix well, and place in a bowl in the refrigerator.
- Cook your pasta in boiling, salted, water for about 4 minutes.
- Drain, and set aside in a bowl.
- During that time, core the head of lettuce by taking a knife at the base, moving in about two inches, and work around in a circle to remove the core.
- Soak in very cold water for about 5 minutes.
- Drain well, and carefully begin to remove the shells, or cups if you will.
- Grill your chicken for about 7 minutes per side, or well, you know, cook it the way you grill your chicken.
- Sear them on high heat, rotate after a few minutes, flip, reduce the heat, and cook for about another 5-7 minutes on the other side.
- Just keep in mind the thickness of how you butterflied the chicken breast.
- You are now golden and ready to serve.
- I go family style on this dish.
- Vegetable mix in a large bowl, pasta in another, sliced chicken breasts, and lettuce cups in another bowl.
- To plate, grab a lettuce cup, place a bit of pasta in the base, top with some of the great vegetables, and place a few pieces of diced chicken.
- Fold, and get your game on.
- As my wife said, and as I watch her eat this as a snack again tonight (must be good), Wow, that was the best.
- Lettuce wraps are nothing but amazing.
- A palette for any artist.
