I am always searching for quick, simple, and healthy meals for my family. Chicken lettuce wraps were always something I wanted to make, but I could never find a reasonable recipe. This one is awesome because you literally chop everything in a food processor, cook it in one pan, and it’s done. The ingredients are easy to find, and you may even have most of them on hand already. For those of you on Whole30 or Paleo, just substitute the olive oil for avocado or coconut, and the soy sauce for aminos or tamari.
These have quickly become a favorite in our house, my kids (3 and 1) devour them! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
