Protein Upgrade | ORGANIC Chicken & White Bean Lettuce Cups
with Charred Scallion Vinaigrette
We love how this vinaigrette uses sizzled scallion for flavour. And this texture, from juicy shreds of pan-grilled chicken—certified organic, so it’s better for you and the environment—to garlicky white beans to string peas. Drop the protein-packed filling into leaves of Boston lettuce, and these cups runneth over!
