Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps (with a kick!)

This is an easy lunch, or truly an easy and refreshing dinner, especially in the summer. In fact, I think this is best eaten poolside. It does have a little bit of a kick to it, but if you want to remove the jalapenos it would be just as yummy without the heat. The only prep to speak of is cooking a few pieces of bacon and buying a rotisserie chicken, Alternatively, you could easily make this with some leftover chicken..Enjoy, and Happy Summer!
