• If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
• Feel free to add other toppings to the lettuce wraps, such as sliced red onions, bell peppers, or shredded cheese.

Storage and Serving

• These lettuce wraps are best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To serve, simply remove the toothpicks and enjoy the wraps cold or slightly warmed in the microwave.
• These wraps make a great portable lunch option. Pack them in a lunchbox with some extra veggies and a side of dressing for dipping.
