I love lettuce wraps. They are so fresh and crunchy, and the options are endless when it comes to choosing what ingredients you want to add in. I am still adjusting to my new full-time work schedule, so it has been important for me to find ways to cut down cooking time when I get home at night after a long day. At the same time, I don’t want to start eating a lot of unhealthy packaged foods to save time.
- 4 organic, free-range chicken breast tenders
- 2 tbsp canola oil

- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 1 package Citizen Chef Pan Asian Orange simmer sauce
- Iceberg lettuce
