This healthy chicken sang choy bow has been awarded as my meal of the week. It’s light, fresh and super easy to make and prepare.
Left overs can be taken to work the next day for lunch, just make sure you store the chicken mixture and lettuce leaves in separate containers.
You could also use lean minced turkey, beef or pork instead of the chicken for this recipe.
