Chicken Lettuce Cups

Ground Chicken Lettuce Cups

This recipe can be ready for the table in 15 minutes. Wonderfully healthy yet packed with protein. It’s even great for a leftover lunch. Assemble the cooked chicken in the lettuce cups right before serving.

A great substitute for soy sauce are amino acids. The taste is AMAZING your family will not tell the difference. Here’s a link to the brand I use: 

The recipe also calls for fish sauce. I use the Red Boat brand. Here’s a direct link to Red Boat on Amazon.
