Classic Chicken Lettuce Wraps
"Classic chicken lettuce wraps with sautéed chicken filling, crispy lettuce leaves and a delicious sauce! Great as an appetizer or even a meal. Besides chicken as one of the main ingredients, we love mushroom’s texture in the filling. Mixed sweet mini peppers or bell peppers are to bring the crunchiness action and lovely colors to this dish."
