Asian Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Last night we decided to try something new. These lettuce wraps turned out absolutely amazing! The best part? Only 15 minutes to make! I know that they are not typically served with rice, but because I was hungry and my body was in need of carbs, we added some rice. These were extremely flavorful and delicious.

Instructions:

3. Cook until your chicken is browned and completely cooked through. Then add the sauce from step 1 to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated all the chicken.

4. Serve in lettuce leaves. Optional- serve with rice. Top with sriracha and scallions.

Notes:

1. Feel free to substitute chicken for any other type of ground meat that you like or have on hand.
