    Kelly R. said:  These light and refreshing lettuce wraps are a nice alternative to casseroles, which tend to be in heavy rotation for meal train meals! A savory chicken filling is tucked inside crisp lettuce cups for a quick and easy dinner. Prepare the filling in advance and provide it with (cleaned and dried!) lettuce, and your friend can heat and serve at dinnertime. From Dinner at the Zoo
