My go to dish when I am counting carbs. This recipe does two things for me. It gives me flavor and crunch.



Ingredients
1½ pound chicken breast, sliced thin
1 leek, julienned
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/3 cup sliced cucumber
1 lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
 


Preparation

Heat the sauté pan to high heat. Add the oil. Allow the oil to become hot. Add the sliced chicken then stir frequently until the chicken is done. Add the ginger, garlic and leeks. Cook the mixture together for 1 minute then add the hoisin sauce and sriracha. Cook for 1 minute to reduce the sauce onto the chicken. Add the scallions, cucumbers, cilantro and lime zest to the chicken. Taste, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Use your favorite lettuce for your wrap.
