Ok so small disclaimer; this post is basically an open love letter to Chrissy Teigan, soo if that's not your thing then scroll to the recipe but I'll let you know, I am judging you so hard right now. So now the weirdos have found the recipe, let the girl crushing begin.
Firstly have you seen her??? And have you seen her child??? And her husband is John Legend???Like c'mon do I even need to go on? Well probably not but I will anyway!
If her insane looks weren't annoying enough she's also obsessed with food and can cook... but I mean how much of it does she really eat? According to her - a lot. How unfair is that!!!
Obviously I was first introduced to the wonder that is Chrissy through her insanely talented husband John Legend and THAT music video where he professed his love for her - LIFE GOALS am I right? But then my love for her grew in unimaginable ways when she released the cook book rightly entitled 'Cravings'. HAVE YOU BOUGHT IT?? HAVE YOU READ IT?? If there's only one thing you do after reading this post it should be to buy her cookbook. Literally every recipe is to die for especially the dressing on her Chinese Chicken Salad, like just give me a vat of it and some of those crispy wonton strips and I'll be happy. Also the spinach and artichoke dip - OH MY! Who knew a dip could taste so good, eh?
Anyway let's get on to why we are here today; Chrissy Teigan's Chicken Lettuce Wraps! One of the healthier recipes from her book but just as filling! Naturally gluten and dairy free and can be made with minced tofu or any other meat-alternative for a vegetarian/vegan meal! The thing that really makes this dish is the sauce, don't even attempt to make it without the sauce, the sauce gives you life!! I adapted the recipe just a touch (Chrissy pls don't be offended) So here is my take on what is already a solid recipe; Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Serves 6 people:
(Food made by Sassy B in this pic! Shoutout to Instagram for deleting all my drafts..booo)
Ingredients:
Method:
Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Combine two tablespoons of the sauce with the minced chicken. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Once shimmering add the garlic, ginger and minced chicken. Start breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned. Add the corn and spring onions, cook for a further 3 minutes. Spoon mixture into lettuce and top with remaining sauce. DEVOUR!!!!
P.S Did you know she's coming out with another book???
P.P.S Does anyone want to buy it for me??
Much Love
