These Asian chicken lettuce cups are a quick, healthy weeknight meal inspired by Thai larb. They pack all the bold, savory flavors of the classic dish — without the extra steps. Made in one pan and served in crisp lettuce leaves, this “cheater’s larb” is light, satisfying, and bursting with fresh toppings that take it to the next level.
