Fast & easy. Yummo. Kids loved it. Next time, I'll add some veggies to it, tho - bell pepper strips, broccoli - something like that. This only made 4 servings; next time I'm going to double it.

These lettuce cups are just excellent!The ground chicken is a great idea to cut back on calories. We used a hot chilli sauce to add a little zing, garlic and ginger of course are always great together, had no coriander leaves, so used parsley instead. This was a delightful lunch and we will make them again, thanks for sharing.
