New Favorite Recipe!

Sorry if blogging about food is boring! That's all I really have to blog about because all we do is sleep, eat, study and exercise. We have found our new favorite recipe though! This is seriously soooo yummy. It is a recipe from Rachel Ray and everyone should try it if you like spicy thai food!

Thai Lettuce Cups

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
Salt and ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/4 c. sweet chili sauce
1/4 c. honey
2 iceberg lettuce heads, cut into quaters and leaves gently removed to make lettuce cups
1/2 c. honey-roasted peanuts, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 handful basil, chopped (I just used 1 tsp chopped dry basil, I probably could of used more, but I didnt want to add too much)

Place in a large skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO, season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook in pan until golden brown on all sides. If there is a lot of water in your pan because chicken was not completely thawed you will want to drain it. Add in the red pepper and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add in the chili sauce and honey and simmer to reduce it and coat the chicken. To serve, lay the leaves on a platter. Scoop some chicken mixture onto each leaf. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, lime juice and basil (I just added it to the mixure at the end and it was good). Serve and enjoy!

We actually put the chicken mixture into a tortilla with some lettuce and rolled it up. It was very yummy! Next time we are going to try it as lettuce wraps.
