Are you getting caught up in the Olympic games? I am hooked big time. We just cannot stop watching.
In between the breaks I prep food, and then cook something quick so we could munch while watching. So, that’s how these quick and delicious wraps were born.
So, I must admit I tested a few recipes and these Asian Style Chicken and Pineapple Lettuce Wraps were Da Bomb. I even took my time to make a video.
Anyhow, what are you all cooking these days? It’s so darn hot outside that I just want to be in the cold room with A/C blasting. I can’t tolerate hot weather, especially when it’s muggy, humid and sticky.
Now, these wraps are pretty light. My kids wrapped the chicken in the lettuce, then placed the whole wrap in the french bread.
My daughter’s comment was: “this needs some cheese” and my youngest one drizzled ketchup all over the chicken. Yeah, go figure. Well, as long as they eat their food, I am happy.
I enjoyed it very much just the way they are. I loved the sweetness that pineapple brought and a bit spiciness from gochujang (Korean Chili Paste)

Notes
Q: Can I use canned Pineapple?
A: YES! Make sure to drain the juice and use pineapple. Fresh, ripe Pineapple is the best option, but whatever you have on hand.
Q:Can I use Ground beef or pork?
A: Yes! Pork, a mix of both Pork and Chicken or ground beef. Ground beef has fatter unless it is extra lean, so maybe you could spoon out some leftover fat, before serving the meat.
- Gochujang could be found in Korean/ Asian Markets, International, even some Kroger’s carry it. Or you can find it online! You can also substitute with Sriracha. Purple leaves on the picture: Radicchio, also known as Italian chicory red Verona. It has a bitter and spicy taste and I really didn’t care that much for the taste. It looked pretty while taking pictures, but, I really did not like it at all. So, if you like Radicchio use it, but if you do not, I recommend any type of lettuce and the best one is Boston Butterhead Lettuce. That’s my favorite lettuce. Add Soy sauce to please your taste buds. Also, you may use freshly chopped garlic and/or onion
