Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

The other night I needed a quick and healthy meal as I finished my run after work a little late and had volunteering at my church in less than an hour. I had the perfect ingredients to put together paleo-friendly Asian chicken wraps and I'm excited to share my newest recipe with you!
