If you’re looking for an easy, protein packed, one pan meal to have on rotation each week, you’re in the right place! These lettuce wraps are perfect for lunch or dinner, and a great recipe to double for meal prep! 

My idea of “comfort food” looks like an extra large pot of piping hot chicken noodle soup, loaded with all the fresh veggies, on a cold rainy Sunday. This recipe is far from difficult and is a staple for meal prep in the colder months!
