    After all that I forgot the lettuce leaves! So ours just ended up being served over rice, and as my husband doesn't like green beans I put snow peas, bok choy and red capsicum in with it instead. But it was delicious, perfect blend of sweet with subtle sourness and not sticky. Our 10-month-old liked it too!

    Orange and Apricot Glazed Chicken Cups,A 30 minute meal from Per the website, “Fruit-flavored chicken (reminiscent of sweet & sour takeout) gets tucked inside a grilled lettuce bowl. Yep, you can grill heartier lettuce varieties like romaine, for a sweeter, smokier flavor that the kids will probably prefer to the ordinary leaf.” I have to say that I think we would have preferred iceberg lettuce at room temp that we could really pick up and eat rather than the romaine because it had to be eaten with a knife and fork.,After all that I forgot the lettuce leaves!
