Quick and light, these low-carb chicken lettuce wraps are so simple to put together and make such a delicious and healthy weeknight dinner.
Needless to say, we’re not advocating for restrictive low-carb diets. Carbohydrates are our brain’s primary source of energy and have a variety of really important functions within our body. But if you had a carb-filled breakfast and a carb-filled lunch, then it’s good to balance things out with a low-carb dinner.
