These crunchy Chicken Club Lettuce Wraps are the ideal light lunch or even an appetizer because they are tangy, crunchy, savory, and light. As an added bonus, they are also healthy.
I love crunchy food, and lettuce wraps are the perfect combination for everything I love. I confess that I am addicted to them, especially my Baked Teriyaki Salmon Lettuce Wraps and Nicoise Salad Lettuce Wraps.

FAQ
How do you make lettuce wraps not soggy?
If you want to make this for later, I suggest making it the morning of and then cutting it in half when ready to eat.
