Hey you guys!! Hope you are doing well and eating well! Do you like/love chicken lettuce wraps?? I do! It is a great summer meal that is light and easy to throw together.
You can grill or bake your chicken, whatever your preference. You can marinate your chicken in the peanut sauce, a teriyaki sauce or grill/bake it plain. Shred some carrots and and thinly slice some cucumbers. I recommend you make the cucumber salad (recipe below). It adds a tasty addition to your wrap. Easy to make ahead of time!
You can use romain leaves for your wraps, but my personal preference is the butter lettuce leaves. I like the taste and size. And that’s a wrap! Pretty simple!
