These Easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps are an absolute staple in our house. We make them once a week. They are delicious, easy and fun to make, and good for you! Let’s go through the steps, shall we?

MAKE THE SAUCE

The first step in this lettuce wrap recipe is making the sauce, which is KEY to making this recipe super flavorful!

It’s really simple to make! Just whisk all the ingredients together. If your peanut butter is still more of a solid consistency from being refrigerated, you may need to heat it up slightly so it mixes well.

MAKE THE LETTUCE WRAP FILLING

• Brown the ground chicken before adding the sauce!
• Use a Wok, sauté pan, or a cast iron skillet
• Dice the vegetables very small so you get a little crunch in every bite

I personally love using butter lettuce for this recipe. They are the perfect sized cups to hold your chicken. They are also quite pliable so they wrap well and don’t break!

HOW DO YOU CUT LETTUCE FOR LETTUCE WRAPS?

I buy the live butter lettuce for these wraps. Simply break apart from the root ball using your fingers, trying not to rip the leaves.

TOPPING OPTIONS FOR LETTUCE WRAPS:

I like to use chopped peanuts, green onions or chives and a few squirts of Sriracha Sauce.

ENJOY!!
