Chicken lettuce wraps... Say what?!

This was a quick meal for me as I was the only one eating lunch at home with my little one. So I got creative with what the fridge had to offer. Only shameful part.... didn't use fresh chicken 🙀. Didn't have any defrosted and still wanted some. So I used one of the teriyaki frozen foster farms chicken breasts we have in the freezer. It's not horrible, it's just not freshly cooked. With lots of my recipes I see what we have in the fridge. What looks good and is laying around. Then I just go to town on them throwing all kinds of things together an luckily it usually turns out good, or great like these lettuce wrap boat things I made. So good I will make them again this week but with fresh chicken and enough for my whole family to taste the goodness haha.






Chicken Lettuce Wraps:
Serves one
Vegetable sauté:
-2.5 oz Organic Baby Bella Mushrooms sliced
-1 c. Chopped Bok Choy 
- 3 Sweet Mini Pepers sliced
- 2 tsp. Chopped Garlic
- 1 tsp. Ginger Powder 
- 2 tsp. Kikoman Sesame Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 tsp. Liquid Aminos

I first chopped and sliced everything. Then I threw the vegetables in a pan with a spray of Pam to sauté. Once they were all nice and soft I added all the seasonings and mixed. Then I microwaved my chicken breast (normally I would have diced a chicken breast cooked it first then added the veggies and then sauté). Once it was heated through I chopped it up and tossed it in the mix. I proceeded to fill 4 romaine lettuce leaves with this wonderful mix. I finished it off with 3 grilled asparagus spears and 3 grilled onion bulbs. AMAZING!! Next time I will make sure I drizzle some Siracha over it for a little kick 🔥.
