Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken Lettuce Wraps so flavorful and appetizing that you'd forget how easy to make and healthy it actually is.

Kian and I have been on Tim Ferriss's "Slow Carb Diet" for 3 months now and it has been going really well for the both of us. I have lost 13 lbs in total and I am currently maintaining the weight loss with exercise as well. I love how we are making good choices with our meals now but still get to enjoy (with whatever we want to eat) once a week on our cheat days. Not to mention also, how I fit so much better in my clothes now. Goodbye, muffin top!
​
I found this "Chicken Lettuce Wraps" recipe online that I tweaked slightly to fit into our diet. I do not have to make separate meals for the children as they can have it with rice while we have it with lettuce. It uses a slow cooker so it is easy to prepare and dinner will be ready for you at the end of the day.
