WAYS TO MAKE IT CREATIVE - Think of what else you can add to make this more interesting. Try including different ingredients inside the lettuce with the chicken. Hard-boiled egg, peppers, a strip of fresh parmesean cheese, etc -- Or, try attaching something on top of the roll using the toothpick. I've had great success with small madarin orange slices or cut up strawberries! Perhaps try switching lettuce for spinach, or another green. The possibilities are endless, and kids can often help in the creation process! The chicken can be served warm, or, can be refrigerated and served chilled, both taste great!
