Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am a total creature of habit. If I find something I like to eat at a particular restaurant, I will without fail, order it every.single.time! I am NOT an adventurous eater AT ALL. Despite my husbands encouraging!! And almost every meal I make/eat has the main ingredient of chicken. Which became a slight problem for my first 3 months of pregnancy with Sophia, as I could not even look at chicken, let alone EAT IT! Thank goodness that that was just a preggo phase that disappeared after my first trimester! One of my favourite 'go to' restaurants is Joey's, and they make the BEST lettuce wraps! Whether I am out for lunch, dinner, or just a snack, I am ordering the lettuce wraps. Since having Sophia we haven't been eating out as often, thus I was majorly missing my beloved lettuce wraps!! After looking at a bunch of recipes and a little bit of trial and error, I think I created my own tasty version of the lettuce wrap! We have had them twice in the last three weeks! ha! Give them a try! I don't think you will be disappointed!
