Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps created by mommyluvs2cook

I have been looking for something lower carb with crunch and this does the trick! It is pretty spicy so you can cut the chili-garlic sauce (Sriacha) down to 1 teaspoon and add a teaspoon of either soy or teriyaki sauce if you want a milder version. Prep time does not include cooking and shredding the chicken

I make these at least once a month! I add extra teriyaki sauce and extra saracha because like it a little more moist and spicy. So good :)
