I absolutely love lettuce wraps! They are so delicious and satisfying… and healthy too!
This recipe calls for leftover chicken but feel free to use what you have on hand. If you have the leftover chicken then great, use that.. if not, you can quickly cook up a couple of chicken breasts or use ground turkey or lean ground beef!
These make a great snack or even an entree for 2! I like to just put out the bowl and let everyone make their own!
