These have been a weekly repeat since making them the first time. They come together in no time at all and are a delicious low carb, high protein meal. All you need are some veggies, a pack of ground chicken, and some sauce.


I've been playing around with variations of this recipe, some spicier and others saucier. You can adjust this recipe according to your preference.


When the lettuce isn't cooperating, I just make it into a salad. You can also serve this with rice if you're looking to add in carbs.
