Tantalizing Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

These are even better (and, I'm convinced, WAY healthier) than the popular restaurant chain best-known for their lettuce wraps. These wraps are gluten-free, as long as you use GF/wheat-free soy sauce/tamari.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time.

I had some trouble finding the right kind of lettuce. I ended up using romaine lettuce and it worked fine.
