chicken lettuce wraps

i love lettuce wraps. they are easy and fast to make, and they taste delisious. for some weird reason they are also something that both of my children will actually eat! rare. i can count on 2 hands the foods that scarlett will eat and somehow these are on that list.

this recipe is so flavourful that it always leaves me wanting more, and more, and more.
