Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups image

Lettuce wraps make light, lively appetizers. These are easy to make because the slow cooker does most of the work. Just load it up and let things get cooking. When the chicken is cooked, just shred and serve. -Robin Haas, West Roxbury, Massachusetts

I tried making these lettuce cups, but they didn't turn out very well. The chicken was tough and the lettuce cups were soggy.

I thought these lettuce cups were just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of lettuce cups, but these were actually really good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious.

These lettuce cups are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the filling for extra crunch.

I've tried many Thai chicken lettuce cup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced and the chicken is so tender.

These lettuce cups were a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the fresh, flavorful filling and the crispy lettuce cups. I'll definitely be making these again.
