Description

These chicken lettuce cups are hiding some sneaky veggies inside - and your partner won't even notice! This is a great option if you're wanting a light dinner, but don't want to feel like you're missing out. 

With this recipe, you can swap out the protein (chicken) to something that is more suitable for you. For example, beef, prawns, turkey mince, fish etc. If you're wanting to bulk it out, you can add cooked brown rice into the mixture.
