Chicken Lettuce Wraps were inspired by a popular restaurant item, and boy do they pack a whole lot of flavor!
By marinating your chicken breasts in a homemade Asian marinade and sauteing them with a few simple veggies, before stuffing them into lettuce leaves, you can create restaurant-worthy lettuce wraps right at home.
