THAI CHICKEN LETTUCE CUPS
Lettuce wraps make light, lively appetizers. These are easy to make because the slow cooker does most of the work. Just load it up and let things get cooking. When the chicken is cooked, just shred and serve. -Robin Haas, West Roxbury, Massachusetts

CHICKEN IN LETTUCE LEAVES
A few days ago there was a request of what to do with lots of lettuce, which can be frozen--while I am not sure if this can be frozen or not, it seems like a wonderful dish to use up lots of lettuce (and not make salad!). There is a lot of chopping/dicing in this recipe so by using a food processor prep time will be reduce substancially.Bon Appetit (June 1982)
