minutesThis is one of the easiest appetizer or dinner recipes. The ingredients give such great flavor to the ground chicken. It is so much fun to scoop the chicken mixture on the lettuce and eat them like tacos. They are low in carbs since they use lettuce instead of a tortilla. You can eat these like an appetizer but we often eat them for dinner because we can’t just stop at one.
