Crispy Szechuan Chicken or Tofu Lettuce Wraps

    Cuisine:

    As a solo chef, cooking for one presents certain challenges. Some recipes easily scale down easily and others do well for safely tucking leftovers in the freezer future meals. That said, it is always delightful to find a recipe designed for small batch cooking that is also healthy and delicious. I am also planning to try this with tofu. This recipe easily scales up to 2 or more servings. (4 WW points or Core plus 1 pt for the peanuts)

    Szechuan Chicken (Or Tofu) in Lettuce Bundles (Solo Cooking), As a solo chef, cooking for one presents certain challenges. Some recipes easily scale down easily and others do well for safely tucking leftovers in the freezer future meals. That said, it is always delightful to find a recipe designed for small batch cooking that is also healthy and delicious. I am also planning to try this with tofu. This recipe easily scales up to 2 or more servings. (4 WW points or Core plus 1 pt for the peanuts), We really enjoyed these tasty lettuce bundles…used the chicken…it had a nice touch of heat…I skipped the bean sprouts and the peanuts…but I think the sprouts or maybe chopped chestnuts would be good…thanks for sharing your recipe…made for Alphabet tag game…
