<br>How do you make zesty marinated chicken even more appealing? Add grilled pineapple...
<br>
<br>Prep: 10 minutes
<br>Marinate: 1 hour
<br>Cook: 10 minutes
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>3 tbsp. orange juice
<br>1 1/2 tsp. jerk seasoning mix (like the kinds by McCormick)
<br>1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
<br>4 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
<br>1/4 cup chopped onion
<br>1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
<br>1 pineapple ring (fresh or previously packed in juice)
<br>4 large (or 2 extra-large) iceberg or butter lettuce leaves
<br>2 tbsp. canned black beans, drained and rinsed
<br>1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>In a sealable container (or sealable plastic bag), combine orange juice, jerk seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken, and flip to coat. Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
<br>
<br>Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add chicken, reserving excess marinade. Cook for 4 minutes.
<br>
<br>Flip chicken. Lay pineapple on the pan. Add onion, bell pepper, and excess marinade. Stirring veggies occasionally, cook for 2 minutes.
<br>
<br>Flip pineapple. Stirring veggies occasionally, cook for about 2 more minutes, until chicken is cooked through, veggies are soft, and marinade has been absorbed.
<br>
<br>Stack two large lettuce leaves, and place chicken in the center (or stack two extra-large leaves, and place chicken over one half). Top with pineapple, veggies, beans, and cilantro. Finish with remaining two large lettuce leaves (or wrap the extra-large leaves around the filling).

<br>The flavors of pasta al pomodoro get all up on a lean beef patty, nestled inside crunchy lettuce. It doesn't get much better than this...
<br>
<br>Prep: 10 minutes
<br>Cook: 10 minutes
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes
<br>1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
<br>1/4 tsp. garlic powder
<br>1/4 tsp. onion powder
<br>2 dashes each salt and black pepper
<br>4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
<br>Dash Italian seasoning
<br>2 tbsp. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
<br>4 large (or 2 extra-large) iceberg or butter lettuce leaves
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>To make the sauce, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, basil, 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. onion powder, and a dash each salt and pepper.
<br>
<br>In a medium bowl, combine beef, Italian seasoning and remaining 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. onion powder, and dash each salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Form into a 4-inch-wide patty.
<br>
<br>Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook patty for 3 minutes.
<br>
<br>Flip patty, and cook for 3 - 4 more minutes, or until cooked to your preference.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, cover sauce, and microwave for 20 seconds, or until warm. Mix well.
<br>
<br>Top patty with cheese. Cover and cook for 1 minute, or until cheese has melted.
<br>
<br>Stack two large lettuce leaves, and place cheese-topped patty in the center (or stack two extra-large leaves, and place patty over one half). Top with sauce, and finish with the remaining two large lettuce leaves (or wrap the extra-large leaves around the filling).
