    Thai flavors are such a great way to spice up the weeknight grind.  My teens love anything Thai!  So I thought I'd mix up my usual chicken lettuce wraps to make them Thai Basil Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

    These babies are easy to make in less than 30 minutes and use pantry staples. They are easy enough to become a weekly addition to the meal rotation and make great lunch leftovers. They are easily made gluten free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
