Preparation

  • Preheat the BBQ to maximum then reduce to medium intensity.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and pour a thin stream of olive oil over it. Add the curry then season salt and pepper generously. Rub the chicken to coat.
  • Place the breasts on the grills and cook for 2 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Turn over the breasts and repeat: cook 2 minutes, turn 45 degrees and cook 2 minutes.
  • Close one side of the BBQ grills and place the breasts on the closed side. Continue cooking over indirect heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Remove from heat, cut into small strips and let cool. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add chicken followed by remaining ingredients, except for the lettuce. Season with pepper to taste and toss well to untie knots in noodles. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Add a little mixture in the center of a large Boston lettuce leaf and gently close like a roll or tacos, to taste. Serve with my peanut sauce if desired!
