Pho Chicken Lettuce Wraps

You don’t have to travel far for a delicious Asian-inspired meal! This recipe was originally written by a popular grocery store chain for using with lean ground beef, but we lightened it up a bit and used Ground Chicken (ground turkey or pork would also be great).  Pho Chicken Lettuce Wraps are great for lunch or dinner, or make small portions for your spa party appetizers.
