Ever thought about serving chicken with lettuce?
Lettuce is a healthy alternative to bread buns, which often contain a good deal of carbs. Walnuts, apples orange juice, Greek yogurt, green chiles, raisins, and more add a new level of depth and texture to this healthy dish.
These boats are easy to prepare, and you can even use leftover roasted chicken to meal prep a batch for the week!
