SLOW COOKER CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Slow Cooker Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

My kids love this meal! The diced ingredients get rid of the textural issue they normally have with vegetables, while still being packed with flavor and nutrition! This recipe is very forgiving; I've made the chicken on the side for vegetarians, substituted cashews for peanuts, and used more or less of an ingredient depending on what I have in the fridge.
