Butter lettuce

Also called Boston or Bibb lettuce, a leafy plant, Butter Lettuce is very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It contains a good amount of vitamin K and vitamin C. You can choose whatever lettuce you want, but remember that it needs to be large, leafy and able to hold the chicken mixture.
