Heart Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps

If you love your lettuce wraps as much s I do, this is the recipe for you. I set out to copy P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps, as one does, and this is what I came up with. They are delicious, nutrient dense because of the nuts, and heart-healthy.

As a heart patient, I appreciate heart healthy and nutrient dense foods, so I hope you enjoy these as well.
