Chicken Stir-Fry Lettuce Wraps, Quick & Easy

December 27, 2019

My easy Chicken Stir-Fry Lettuce Wraps recipe is diabetic-friendly and is a healthy chicken dinner! Fast and fantastic, this enjoyable light meal of easy chicken lettuce wraps recipe with Asian flavors comes together easily with cooked chicken, bell pepper, edamame and sweet mango with a super sauce.

I have an appreciation for good food and want to make sure even the healthiest meals are delicious like in my easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps recipe. My favorite email was from a gentleman who said, “I wish the word diabetes wasn’t on the cover of a book, so more people would use the book.” So, you have your wish as KITCHEN 101 and my Eating Well to Fight Arthritis cookbook both have a “D” throughout the book to indicate diabetic-friendly recipes!
