We’re making a homemade sauce with some ground chicken and the end result…
THIS.
Perfectly flavored chicken with some crunchy apples and green onions…all pulled together into a large piece of lettuce.
This would be great in some Bibb lettuce, Romaine or iceberg…whichever you prefer! Enjoy! 🙂

Topping the chicken with chopped cashews would also work, since cashews are often added to dishes containing soy sauce.
