Have no fear, 🥬 wraps are here!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Looking for something light, yet super flavourful? These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps make a quick and healthy dinner that tastes absolutely delicious. They are super simple to make, and as long as you have your staples, can be made with just about any veggies on hand. We particularly always like to add water chestnuts as they add a necessary crunch to the dish. What's even better is that you can make these appetizer sized and serve them for a fantastic Asian tapas night.


Anyway you make these, you will be thankful for their flavours. Just don't skimp on the aromatics!
