What makes these Chicken Lettuce Wraps healthy?
Ground chicken is a great source of lean protein and is low in fat. You need protein for your muscles to perform at their best and to build and repair tissues. Every cell in your body needs protein to function at its best.
Chicken wraps can be healthy or unhealthy — it all depends on how you make them, what extra ingredients you add and what type of diet you’re following. Wraps are often lower in calories than a sandwich with the same filling, but adding extra to your wrap can make them a calorie-packed lunch or dinner.
