Lemon Grass Chicken Lettuce Wraps

January 7th, 2011 § 0 comments

I like ‘wrap’ dishes. Tortillas, rice papers, crapes… any kind of wraps.

It’s easy to eat, fun to eat and looks cute, I think.

This is healthy low-calorie lettuce wraps, nice combination of cold crispy lettuce and warm tender chickens.

Lettuce hugs chickens.
