Instructions

Method

1. Fill a large frying pan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Add the chicken and simmer for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside for 15 minutes to cool. Shred the chicken into thin strips and place in a large bowl.
2. Meanwhile, place the vermicelli in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Drain well. Use kitchen scissors to cut into 3cm lengths.
3. Add vermicelli, carrot, cucumber, celery, capsicum, and sesame seeds to the chicken. Whisk together the soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce in a jug. Add to the chicken mixture and gently toss to combine.
4. Spoon the noodle mixture among the lettuce leaves and serve immediately.
