Lettuce Wraps = Ultimate Dinner!

Ummmmm I think I found my new favorite dinner recipe. I have a soft spot for Asian food and if it’s made with clean ingredients…even better! Our Copycat PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps have been a Fit Foodie Finds reader favorite since they were published back in 2014. So, when I set out to create this recipe, I decided I wanted something with a little more veggie oomph hence the mushrooms + onion + red pepper than traditional meat-only lettuce wraps that then require you to round up other toppings to add more flavor. The solution? These delish Thai lettuce wraps.

Gluten Free Lettuce Wraps

You bet your bippy this recipe is gluten free, and it can also be made paleo with a simple swap of coconut aminos for tamari. If I had to choose, I would use tamari every time (love love love the flavor!), but that’s just me ๐Ÿ˜€ And if you’re not a chicken kind of person, feel free to use ground turkey or beef! Basically, make this recipe your own! Let’s get into it: chicken and peppers in skillet for thai lettuce wraps

How to Make Thai Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are completely prepped, cooked and ready to enjoy in less than 30 minutes flat. Can you say perfect weeknight dinner?!

Step 1: Veggie Prep!

First, prep the veggies by finely dicing mushrooms, red pepper, and yellow onion, and set aside. Feel free to get creative and add other veggies if you’d like!

Step 2: Brown Ground Chicken

Next, brown meat by sautéing over medium/high heat in about a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of minced garlic. Then, remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Veggies

In the same pan, add a tablespoon more of olive oil and sauté veggies until onions are translucent. This will transfer all the great meat and garlic flavors you already have in the pan into your veggie mix!

Step 4: Mix it all Up

Pour the ground meat back into the pan and then add in soy sauce, maple syrup, chili paste, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice and sauté until everything is combined.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Serve on baby romaine leaves and garnish with grated carrots and sliced radishes. If you’re not serving a crowd, these Thai lettuce wraps will keep in the fridge for up to a week. thai chicken lettuce wraps in taco holder

This is a staple weekly recipe for my family of two- it’s so healthy, packed with protein, and comes together quickly (definitely 30 min or less, even including chopping all the veggies!). We serve this with the FFF simple fried rice recipe on the side and it’s the perfect weeknight meal.

Easy weeknight dish for the family. We love mushrooms so use extra, with ground turkey. I eat it with just lettuce, serve with Jasmine rice for the husband & kids, they love it too. Making again tonight and making a double batch so we have extra for lunch tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚
