THAI CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
Inspired by Thai ingredients, this recipe is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Use lettuce instead of a tortilla wrap to reduce calories and carbs, and amp up chicken with lime juice, chiles and basil for a quick and healthy sandwich alternative. Lettuce wraps are surprisingly travel-friendly: pack the lettuce leaves and filling separately and assemble when it's time for lunch.

THAI CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
I have been looking for something lower carb with crunch and this does the trick! It is pretty spicy so you can cut the chili-garlic sauce (Sriacha) down to 1 teaspoon and add a teaspoon of either soy or teriyaki sauce if you want a milder version. Prep time does not include cooking and shredding the chicken
