Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • In a bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 °F degrees (190.5 °C). Drizzle the chicken with oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan on medium heat. Grill nicely, marking on both sides. Then transfer the pan to the oven and cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees using a thermometer. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Then slice thin.
  • Place a 12-inch parchment paper square on your work surface. Layer 6 large lettuce leaves on top, overlapping each other.
  • On the lettuce leaves, layer the chicken, apple, pecan, cranberry, onion, and cheese. Drizzle with sauce.
  • Roll the lettuce wrap sandwich as tightly as you can, using the parchment paper as your guide, much like you would use a sushi mat to make a sushi roll.
  • When the lettuce is completely rolled, wrap the parchment paper tightly around it and tuck it underneath the roll. Use a serrated knife to cut the lettuce wrap sandwich in half.
  • Serve lettuce wrap with carrot sticks, ranch, and apple cider.
