Low carb deliciousness!

These are a lower carb meal option and so easy to make!  The most difficult part of this recipe is the prep work – measuring out the ingredients and chopping and slicing (it took me about 10 minutes).

These chicken lettuce wraps are also great for a make-ahead meal… the chicken mixture can be stored and refrigerated to reheat and place on the lettuce leaves later.  Doesn’t get much easier than that!

These make a great lunch at work, weeknight or weekend meal and they’re also very inexpensive – a lot less expensive than takeout!
