Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Savoury, easy and delicious. A great appetizer or light lunch idea when you are craving something healthy!
This is one of my favourite Asian appetizers. The lettuce possesses a cool crisp crunch while the filling is sweet and soft. With these contrasting flavours and textures, it's definitely an enjoyable dish.
My Asian chicken lettuce wraps recipe only takes under 30 minutes to make and it's very simple. You can use any lettuce of your choice! I just used the lettuce from my garden but iceberg or boston lettuce are great choices for this dish.
