Description
Whether you're running out the door and need a healthy meal in a hurry, or just want to take it easy in the kitchen, these light and refreshing lettuce cups are a great solution. (And the recipe is easy to double if you need more servings.) For wrappers, you can opt for crunchy iceberg lettuce or softer butter lettuce. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas.

Directions
- Peel garlic. Finely grate garlic and ginger into a large bowl. Add tamari, honey, and rice vinegar and whisk to combine. (Pro tip: To make the lettuce cups gluten-free, buy a brand of gluten-free tamari.)
- Coarsely shred carrot. Finely dice red pepper and water chestnuts, and mince scallions.
- Arrange chicken in a single layer in a glass pie pan. Microwave chicken according to package directions, then chop into bite-size pieces.
- Add vegetables and chicken to bowl with tamari dressing and toss to thoroughly coat.
- Divide chicken and vegetables evenly among lettuce leaves. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.

Better with cooking chicken in the tamari, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger mix. We used ginger piwder instead, still came out very good!

We make this all the time now. Makes a lot of servings, and tastes delicious! We usually use a rotisserie chicken, just because our local market has some really good flavored ones - we’re partial for the lemon peppered and it goes great with the recipe.

Lettuce cups for the win! I did a few things differently:
-Added only a 1/2 tsp. of honey
-Added about 1 tsp. of Chinese Five Spices
-Added Teriyaki sauce and went heavier on the rice vinegar
-Baked the contents before putting it into the lettuce cups (came out very savory)
Next time I think I'll add peanuts. Overall, great and super easy recipe. Looking forward to making it again.
