Minced Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Since my boys were little they loved going for Chinese Food.  One of their favorite things to get was always Minced Chicken in Lettuce. Now as grown men, they still always order and love this dish, so when a friend of mine asked if I do anything in lettuce wraps , my creative wheels started turning.  I came up with this super quick, super easy, and super low cal version you can make at home.  This is also an easy dish to substitute the chicken with your favorite vegetarian option if you choose.  Since this dish makes 8 wraps, servings very depending on appetite.  You can serve this up with a side of our Chicken Fried Rice Recipe that you can find in our recipe section or with our quick and easy Won Ton Soup recipe that you can find in our Fun Tip section.
