You’re sitting at home trying to decide what to make for dinner...

You want it to be healthy, and delicious so that your kids and husband will eat it. You feel stuck. I get it! Which is why I’m starting to release some of my favorite dinner recipes right here for you to start feeding your loved ones. This Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe is an easy healthy meal your entire family will love!

I don’t know about you, but when I restrict my eating and wind up missing foods I love and find myself raiding the fridge for something to bring my taste buds back to life. So I can relate to how awesome it is when you find healthy, simple recipes that keep you on track and allow you some freedom with your foods. These lettuce wraps will be just that.

Key Ingredients

Coconut Aminos are a healthier alternative to soy sauce. This topic is controversial, however, I’m a firm believer that soy can have a negative impact on our bodies and alter your hormone levels. Therefore, I recommend just staying clear of it and replacing your soy sauce with these coconut aminos.

This chicken lettuce wrap recipe also incorporates fresh cilantro. This versatile herb is a good source of fiber, contains the vitamins A, C, E, K, calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. Eating just ¼ cup of fresh cilantro provides you with nearly half your recommended daily value of vitamin A and K. It also rids your body of harmful heavy metals, decreases oxidative stress in the body, decreases anxiety, lowers blood sugar levels and can prevent UTI’s.

So go ahead and print a copy for yourself, share it with a friend and take a trip to Asia for a night with this delicious dinner.
