RECIPE: CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

What my husband likes about this Chicken Lettuce Wrap, he said it tastes like the Peking Duck cooked in 4 ways that is being served in Chinese restaurant.   

So in one of our office meetings i served it to let my team taste the Delicious and bursting with flavor,  minced chicken wrapped in Lettuce leaves.  I made sure that plates is big enough and napkins is available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little.
