Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken lettuce wraps are a weeknight DREAM.  It’s super fast and easy. Plus simply delicious!!  I doubled this recipe (my sister came to visit) and it worked perfectly. Why eat out when you can make this at home tonight.

With the use of ground chicken and pre-diced water chestnuts, most of the work is done for you. We have made lettuce wraps by dicing our own chicken and I promise using ground chicken is way easier.

Healthy, quick, easy, delicious and a dish the entire family enjoys…I’m IN!
