The Diabetes Doctor

Filling

• 2 cups (500 mL) of bagged coleslaw mix
• 1/2 can/4 ounces (230 mL) of sliced water chestnuts, drained and cut in half
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) of frozen green peas, thawed
• 1 cup (250 mL) of pre-cooked diced chicken breast
• 1/3 cup (80 mL) of dry roasted peanuts, toasted
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) of chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 12 large Boston Bibb or romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well blended.
2. In another bowl, combine the filling ingredients.
3. To serve, arrange three lettuce leaves on each of the four dinner plates and spoon equal amounts of filling into each one. The sauce can be added on top or kept on the side.

Notes: If any food allergies or food preferences, chicken can be substituted with tofu. Tofu is a vegetarian alternative for chicken. It does not have the same amount of protein, but it can closely mimic the taste and the feel of chicken in the mouth.
