Servings: persons

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 8 ounces), split
1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons pitted and chopped imported black olives
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced very small
2 ribs celery, diced very small
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
6 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
4 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 large romaine lettuce leaves
4 scallions, green part only, leaves separated and halved or quartered if large
Roasted-lemon-and-garlic steaming liquid (see recipe)

1
Place the chicken in a food processor and process until chicken forms a smooth paste.
2
Scrape it into a medium-size mixing bowl and stir in the rice, thyme, olives, red pepper, celery, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
3
Steam the lettuce leaves and the scallions over the lemon garlic liquid just until wilted; this will only take a few seconds.
4
Remove the steaming liquid from the heat.
5
Cut the tapered ends off of the lettuce leaves, leaving a large circle of leaf.
6
Cut out the heavy center stems and overlap the lettuce where the stems were.
7
Place a scant 3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each leaf.
8
Lift the lettuce up around the filling and tie each one with a scallion leaf; they should look like little drawstring bags.
9
Place the bundles in a steamer, cover and steam over the liquid for 15 minutes.
10
Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.
