Description
This flavorful Asian Chicken Portabella Wrap recipe is extremely simple and by using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, the sodium is significantly lower than your typical Asian dish! Coconut aminos is a savory sauce made from the fermented sap of coconut palm then mixed with sea salt. It's a gluten-free seasoning sauce option and absolutely delicious. Thanks again to Shannon from KISS in the Kitchen for this tasty treat!
