Notes:
Mined chicken works best for this recipe but you can use chicken breast meat and chop it finely to use in the dish.
The choice of adding spice to the recipe is totally optional. You can add sriracha and red pepper flakes or totally skip them if you don't like much heat.
Use the lettuce that you like. Crispy lettuce works perfectly. If you get a Boston bib or Iceberg or Romaine hearts, they are best for wraps.
You can make the sauce and chicken filling ahead and refrigerate, just keep the vegetables separately in a zip lock and add them before serving.
