Lastly, garnish with cashews, bean sprouts and cilantro, fill a fresh lettuce leaf and dig in! Dinner is ready!

Tips for Making Chicken Wraps

• Add Different Veggies – If you want to add different or more veggies, go for it! Consider adding mushrooms, green onions, or celery. Add whatever veggies you enjoy.
• Spice It Up – If you like spicy food, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the filling mixture. As the recipe is written, it is mild.
• Choose The Right Lettuce – You want to pick a lettuce that will work well as a wrap. Butter lettuce, Bibb lettuce or Romaine all work great and hold up well when filled and folded.

How to Make Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce is so much more fun to eat in wrap form! This can be an appetizer or a meal and comes together in less than 30 minutes. For full recipe details see the printable recipe card down below.

Preheat Skillet + Prep Veggies

Preheat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Wash and slice zucchini and onion. Grate carrots and garlic. Set aside.

Begin by Cooking Onions + Garlic

To the skillet, add in olive oil, onions and garlic. Cook until softened, 3 minutes.

Add Ground Chicken, Zucchini + Carrot

Add in ground chicken, zucchini, carrot, salt and pepper. As the chicken cooks and browns, break it apart into crumbles.

Make the Sauce

While the meat is cooking, stir all ingredients for the sauce together in a small bowl.

Pour Sauce over Skillet Mixture

Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, pour in sauce and cover to simmer 5-7 minutes.

Add Sprouts, Scallions, Cashews, Cilantro + Serve

Right before serving, stir in bean sprouts, scallions, cashews and cilantro. Scoop into butter lettuce and serve.

Can I Make these Ahead?

Yes! You can make the filling a couple days before and store in the fridge until ready to use. Technically, you’d be fine up to 5 days ahead, but I like to use the filling while the veggies are still crunchy.

How to Store Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Store any leftover filling or lettuce separately and in airtight containers in the fridge. Leftovers should be fresh for up to 4-5 days.
