Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster. Wash and chop your vegetables, measure out your spices, and cook your chicken ahead of time if possible.
  • Use a variety of cranberries: Fresh, frozen, and dried cranberries all have different flavors and textures, so using a combination of them will give your dish a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very lean, so they can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them until they're just cooked through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure your lettuce wraps are sturdy: You want your lettuce wraps to be able to hold all of the fillings without falling apart. Choose large, sturdy leaves, and make sure they're washed and dried thoroughly before assembling your wraps.
  • Get creative with your toppings: In addition to the toppings suggested in the recipe, you can also add other things like crumbled feta cheese, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Triple cranberry chicken lettuce wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
